‘ABOUT MY SCHOOL’ STORY WRITING COMPETITION
Tipperary Allianz Cumann na mBunscol are inviting pupils in Rang 3 – 6 to submit a piece of writing (no longer than 300 words) on the above topic. They should seek to describe what they love about the culture of GAA in their own school. Any school submitting a piece to us should have parental consent before sending on the piece. PLEASE NOTE THE PIECE OF WRITING SHOULD BE EMAILED TO US BY THE CHILD’S SCHOOL ONCE PARENTAL CONSENT HAS BEEN SECURED. Ideally a group photo of any GAA activity in the school should accompany the piece. The winning piece each week will be included with this report and will appear in the local newspapers. The name of the pupil who wrote the piece can appear alongside it. All stories can be emailed to John Manley PRO Tipperary CUMANN NA MBUNSCOL at pro.cnmb.tipperary@gaa.ie.
SOCIAL MEDIA TWITTER HANDLES & HASHTAGS
In future when schools are tweeting us with team photos or school GAA news updates, we would encourage you to always tag @TippCumanNamBun and @AllianzIreland while also remembering to use the hashtag #AllianzCnmb. Allianz Ireland has provided much needed financial assistance to Cumann na mBunscol for many a year and we should strive to do everything we can do to continue this existing arrangement!
