NOMINATIONS are still being accepted for a school, college or educational project that has made the biggest impact across the city as part of the highly anticipated annual Aisling Awards.

Previous winners include Our Lady of Mercy Girls’ School, Methodist College, CBS and their Mentoring Programme and St Louise’s Comprehensive College.

Speaking on behalf of the Kennedy Centre, who will be sponsoring the Outstanding Achievement in Education Award, Centre Manager John Jones said he and the West Belfast shopping complex were delighted to once again come onboard as sponsors of the Education Award.

"We are extremely proud to once again sponsor this very important and worthwhile award,” he said.

“The Aisling Awards are now in their 22nd year and the Kennedy Centre's relationship with them is a long and supportive one.

“We look forward to the countdown to the gala night in October which will be a real celebration for all," he said.
