These awards celebrate the different projects and supports in primary and secondary schools across Ireland to raise awareness of mental health and reduce stigma in school and the community.
Our next Mission Possible campaign will be announced in October 2024; all details will be shared on our website and social media.
In the meantime, don’t forget, we have lots of wellbeing and mental health promotion projects and past Mission Possible entries on our School Portal; it’s free and easy to register to get inspired by other schools and classrooms!
Meet our 2023 winners
For our 2023 competition, we invited schools to create a “Mission Possible Wellbeing Wall” to illustrate the wellbeing supports and initiatives available to students in school and in their communities.
The winners of the seventh Mission Possible awards included Scoil Lorcáin Boys National School in County Waterford (primary school winner); Youthreach in Dublin 1 (secondary school and Youthreach winner); St Mark’s Special School in County Kildare (special school winner) and St Joseph’s Secondary School in County Louth (special class in secondary school winner).
Our judging panel included Paul Gilligan, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of St Patrick's Mental Health Services (SPMHS); Áine Lynch, CEO of the National Parents Council; and Sinéad Smith, teacher in SPMHS' Willow Grove Adolescent Unit. This panel chose our winners, who each received a €600 prize.
Incredible creativity from all schools
We were delighted to see the incredible wellbeing walls and initiatives from all schools that entered in 2023, and to recognise each school that entered with a Certificate of Achievement for their creativity and collaboration.
