The Marian Rollins Heritage & Education Award
The Marian Rollins Heritage and Education Award in association with The Heritage Council and The INTO is an annual award presented to individuals who make an outstanding contribution to heritage education in Irish primary schools and communities.
In our schools and our communities there are many committed people and organisations who give us and the children we teach much guidance and knowledge. They encourage, they motivate and they inspire.
If your school knows such a person or organisation you can nominate them by filling out a nomination form which you can receive by contacting Linda Johnston, INTO Professional Development Unit, 35 Parnell Square, Dublin 1. If you have any queries please contact Linda on 01 8047702.
