The Derrytrasna Pastoral Care Awards 2025

Dear Principal

The Derrytrasna Pastoral Care Awards 2025

The Department of Education, in partnership with the Public Health Agency, is seeking nominations for exceptional pastoral care in schools.

The Awards recognise school communities that have demonstrated exceptional co-operative effort in supporting the pastoral care of pupils by going above and beyond to make a real difference to the lives of pupils in the 2023/24 academic year.

Schools cannot self-nominate but pupils, parents or others in the wider school community can nominate a school that has provided exceptional pastoral care.

A press release and DE weblink promoting the award and requesting nominations have been issued as per the links below.  We would encourage you to share this information with parents and wider community.
