Congratulations to Phedra Kingston (TY)  who has been announced as an award winner in the #GFA25 competition which was run by the Dept of Education. Congratulations to the other award winners and thank you to all SLHS students who created artwork to mark this historic peace agreement and their teachers. Thank you, in particular, to Ms Capper who supported and encouraged.  Well done, Phedra, on being a recipient of one of these prestigious awards. Phedra’s entry  expressed the idea that against a backdrop of violence and turmoil, the democratic process prevailed and brought peace to Northern Ireland on Easter Weekend 1998. https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/30bba-minister-foley-announces-winners-of-department-of-education-25th-anniversary-of-the-good-friday-agreement-schools-competition/
