SID Ambassador Leadership Award Winners 2021

The SID Ambassador Leadership Award recognises the hard work and dedication of the Ambassadors to run their own internet safety campaign, and the positive impact these actions have on their school and wider community.

 

SID Ambassador Leadership Award Winners 2021

Niamh Clerkin and Briana Mac Cinna from St. Louis Secondary School, Co. Monaghan.

We are delighted to announce that the winners of the 2021 SID Ambassador Leadership Award are Niamh Clerkin and Briana Mac Cinna from St. Louis Secondary School, Co. Monaghan. In their Safer Internet Day campaign they demonstrated the SID Ambassador values of respect, leadership, commitment, inclusion and teamwork. Despite the school environment looking different in 2021, their efforts to promote online safety and digital citizenship were innovative and engaging. From addressing topics such as online wellbeing, digital resilience, digital footprints and privacy, Niamh and Briana’s SID2021 campaign raised awareness amongst their peers in school and members of their wider community.


The Safer Internet Day campaigns by this year’s SID Ambassadors were of an extremely high standard and engaged a range of audiences to highlight the importance of creating a safer, better, internet for all.

Congratulations to Grace O’Sullivan and Aoibheann Regan, Loreto College, Mullingar, Co.Westmeath in 2nd place.
