Edmund Rice Awards
The Edmund Rice Awards are coordinated by Ms. Anne Barry Murphy of the Edmund Rice Office.
2008
Students from St Brendan's National School, Birr, Co. Offaly
Students from Nagle Rice Primary School, Miltown, Co. Kerry
Students from Monastery Primary School, Killarney.
The Edmund Rice Awards are an opportunity for our students, at Primary and Secondary level, to explore, in an age-appropriate way, faith and justice questions, thus enabling them to understand more deeply the connection between daily life and Christian values.
Through the Awards, students experience and reflect together on the realities of social justice and marginalisation. By their actions and their reflection they make a significant difference in the lives of others in their local community.
In making this difference they realise something of their own power and responsibility to affect change where change is needed.
(Above) Students from St. Brendan's National School in Birr, Co.Offaly display their work at an Edmund Rice Awards Ceremony.
