St Mary’s University College was delighted to sponsor the Community Impact Award category at this year’s Blackboard Awards, a celebration of excellence in education and teaching across Northern Ireland.

The College was especially proud to present the award to Aine McIlhone of Holy Evangelists’ Primary School, whose outstanding dedication and service earned her this special recognition. Aine’s success holds particular meaning for the St Mary’s community, as she is both a BEd and MEd graduate of the College.

The evening shone a light on the tireless work and profound influence of teachers in shaping the lives of young people. St Mary’s was honoured to take part in an event that highlights the exceptional commitment, creativity, and compassion found across our school.
