Chairman Reveals Winners of Schools’ Environmental Calendar Poster Competition

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairman, Councillor Mark Murnin, hosted a reception for primary and secondary school pupils and their guests from across the district to reveal the winning posters in this year’s Schools’ Environmental Calendar poster competition.

The thirteen selected posters will feature in the 2019 schools’ environmental calendar. All schools in the district will receive a free supply of calendars to give out to school staff and families whose children attend the school.
