Doora & Furglan National Schools Named County Winners In ‘Someone Like Me’ National Art Competition

Two Clare schools are being recognised on the national stage for promoting inclusion through creativity. Pupils and teachers at Doora National School and Furglan National School in Lahinch have been named Junior and Senior County Winners in the prestigious Someone Like Me national art competition. The awards, run by the National Disability Authority, mark their tenth anniversary this year and celebrate understanding of visible and non-visible disabilities through art. The Clare schools will now travel to Dublin City Hall later this month to compete with 50 other schools, with the national winners to be announced on the 28th of January (Wednesday). It’s a proud moment for the pupils, teachers and their communities...
