Irish Competition

More than 25 students from various secondary schools in Toruń participated in final round of the Irish Competition organized by the International House and Irish Chamber of Commerce.

 

Our two students, Monika Byblewska (1C) and Marta

Umińska (1B) also qualified to the final round of the

Competition.

The competition took place on 16^th June in Dwór

 Mieszczański in Toruń and it comprised knowledge of the

 Irish culture, history, literature and geography. The

competition was conducted entirely in English by native

speakers of English from Ireland.

Two weeks of studying English in Dublin was the

main prize in the competition.  The prizes were sponsored by

International House in Dublin and the Irish Chamber

of  Commerce. Apart from that, our local branch of

 International House in Toruń sponsored books and a

course of English

Monika Byblewska, our contestant, put up a good fight

and scored 21 points, what unfortunately  was not enough to

 win the main prize. However, Monika was rewarded

with books and a certificate of

participation. Regrettably, our second participant,

Monika Umińska, could not take part in the competition due

to personal reasons.

We would like to express our warm gratitude to the organizers and guests from Ireland for the opportunity of participattion in such an interesting event.

Congratulations to all winners!
