Competitions

 

Thank you for taking part in the An Post/ INTO Handwriting Competition.

We had a huge response from schools all over the country and we will announce results before the end of March. The standard of handwriting by children entering the competition was superb. We asked you to test your handwriting skills and you really put in a great effort. Well done!
