Secondary school prize winners - rules

To win an overseas trip, or a day at the cinema, schools must follow the rules below.

Conor Tiernan, Ian Dempsey, Sr Kathleen Russell, Rebecca McCurrell
For the purposes of the fast 2009 prizes, your school’s total will be counted as the amount raised between September 2009 and 31 December 2009.

Overseas trip

The visit to an overseas Concern project will be awarded to one teacher and two students from one school. All schools that raise over €15 per capita will be put in to the draw to go on the trip, which is sponsored by World Travel Centre Trip.

Per capita

We calculate the €15 per pupil, which is needed to qualify for the prize, by dividing the total raised from each school by the total number of students registered with the Department of Education in that school at the start of the school year.

The per capita figure must equal €15 or more for a school to qualify.

Cinema day

We will invite 20 students from all schools that raise €15 or more per capita to a day at the cinema.

Fast ID

Your Concern Fast ID must be quoted on all correspondence and money lodgements. You will find this number at the top of your introductory letter.

Sponsorship cards

For security purposes, each sponsorship card has a unique tracking number on it. You might want to note these down for your school’s records. Please ensure each student fills out their details on each card.

Giros

It is essential to use the giros provided so your funds are properly allocated to your school. If you need more giros, please contact us on 1850 50 50 55.

Street collections

If your school would like to hold a street collection on the day of the fast in your area, please contact us on 1850 50 50 55.

Things to remember

  • Unfortunately, the school that won in 2008 is not eligible for this year’s overseas trip
  • Participants must be over 16 years of age and of suitable character and temperament

The winner is…

We’ll be announcing the winner in early March 2010. All the results will be announced on our blog.

The winning school will be contacted by Concern’s school speaker Fionnagh Nally.
