Congratulations to TY student Nanette McCartney, who received a National PressPass award at the Aviva Stadium in the ‘Opinion Piece’ section. Nanette entered through her TY English class, working with teacher David Irwin. In a powerful and thought-provoking piece, Nanette impressed the judges and was recognised for her unique approach and distinctive style. Nanette met many journalists at the event, including Matt Cooper, (pictured right), who encouraged her to keep working on her writing. We look forward to see more pieces in print from an up and coming writer. See school website to read Nanette’s opinion piece; www.millstreetcommunityschool.ie
