Glenswilly NS won the Donegal Concern Debate Competition for primary schools for the third year in a row.
The two participating schools were Glenswilly NS and Dooish NS with the motion: “Should our schools be paperless?” Dooish were proposing the motion while Glenswilly were against.
The debate was of a very high standard and the pupils from both schools were excellent in proposing and opposing this motion. In the end the three adjudicators (Bernadette Brennan, Patsy Toland and Ita Ward) decided that the motion was not carried and Glenswilly NS emerged as the winners.
The event was organised by the Donegal Education Support Centre and the Director Kieran Mc Taggart commended both schools, the pupils and their teachers on their achievement and thanked the Principal Joseph Gallinagh and his staff for the warm welcome and for hosting it.
“Well done to everyone that was involved and a special thank you to the participating teachers including Ms Kate Redmond and Ms Helena Mc Vey (Glenswilly NS) and Ms. Emma Herron from Dooish NS,” Mr McTaggart said.
