Karol was awarded first place in the Excellence in Care category. The award recognised Karol’s work in caring for the emotional, spiritual and social needs of the entire school community including establishing a strong connection via social media.

Speaking about the award, school principal Eukaria O’Grady said: “We are delighted for Karol. This is a great testament to the work she does and the care she provides daily for our students.

“Our school environment has always endeavoured to be one where students thrive in a caring and supporting atmosphere, and it is truly lovely to have that care recognised at a national level.”
