Jack from TY and Macdara in 5th were selected as recipients of the prestigious Salters Sterling Gold Medal Award. Salters Sterling, a former staff member of TCD and a founding member of the Trinity Access Programmes, was a visionary who was committed to opening up Trinity College to a more diverse student body. The students selected for the Salters Sterling Gold Medal Award have, similarly, shown a great sense of civic-mindedness and purposefulness in their classrooms, schools and communities. These students stand out as the leaders of tomorrow.
The Solidarity and School Spirit Award 2021 was received by Grace TY while the Mentoring Award went to Holly in Fifth Year, in recognition of their generous contribution to St Josephs' Secondary School.
The Educational Achievement Awards are given to Junior Cycle Students. The awards recognise their academic excellence and hard work in school.
All of the students have shown outstanding commitment and diligence and are being rewarded for the potential that they are showing as future students of Trinity College. Congratulations to Third Year students Lily, Ellie, Charlie, Emma, Matthew and Ben a wonderful achievement.
First and Second Year students received their Award and certificate from Mr McElwain, Mrs Greene, and Mr Nealon to reward their engagement with their learning both in person and online. They were praised for the resilience they had shown in the last school year. Their efforts had been noted as exceptional, an inspiration to their peers. Congratulations to Sarah, Clodagh, Oisin, Katie, Ethan, Aisling and Maya from Second Year and Kyle, Joely, Eliza, Kealan, Isobel and Mackenzie from First Year.
