As part of the Columban Centenary celebrations we invited students aged between 15-18 to write an article or make a video on the theme ‘Migrants are our Neighbours’.
We are delighted to announce the winners of the 2018 Columban Schools Journalism Competition for the Irish region.
The judges have selected the following:

We would like to heartily congratulate all our winners on their success and to thank every student who took time to enter the competition and the teachers and parents who supervised.
Please see the winning video below. It was most creative and deserves to be shared widely.
