Laois TY students are being invited to share memories of the school journey for a chance to win an iPad and class trip to Tayto park.
Bus Éireann launched its Go Places with Bus Éireann 2018 – 2019 competition for Transition Year students today.
Here, TY students were invited to express their creativity by documenting their school journeys. The competition is open for all transport modes to school.
Entries can be submitted in video, photo or written format. students are asked to capture highlights of their journey in a creative and personal way.
What is their destination? How do they pass the time? Who do they travel with? Who are the people and the places in their community they pass daily, and what are the interesting or fun stories behind these? What would they change on their school journey if they could?
Media and PR Manager with Bus Éireann, Nicola Cooke, said: “We want students to showcase the moments that make their journey unique – from their mode of transport to the people they meet or places they pass – the more creative the better!”
Last year, Alannah Doherty from St. Clare’s Comprehensive in Manorhamilton, was selected as the national winner for her creative photo diary. There are East, West and South regional competitions.
Alannah submitted 20 insightful photographs with humorous captions and hashtags of her journey to school using the Bus Éireann School Transport Scheme. The photos captured her journey from pick up – across from Neven Maguire’s famous MacNean House eatery – past the picturesque Lough MacNean and on to Manorhamilton in North Leitrim.
Go Places with Bus Éireann 2018 -2019 is open to all TY students across the Republic of Ireland. Deadline for entries is March 15, 2019. For more information visit here.
