Katelyn O'Reilly with her futuristic car design
Toyota Ireland is proud to announce Kilkenny student, Katelyn O’Reilly, from Mother of Fair Love Special School, as one of the 12 Irish winners of its annual Dream Car Art Contest.
Katelyn was recognised with an Honorary Mention for her outstanding entry named “Katelyn Car.”
Toyota Ireland visited the school to present Katelyn with her prize and certificate of achievement in front of her friends and family.
“When we heard Katelyn couldn’t travel to our Dublin ceremony, we were delighted to bring the celebration to Mother of Fair Love Special School in Kilkenny, to roll out the Toyota red carpet and celebrate Katelyn’s entry,” said Zoë Bradley, Head of Marketing Communications and Corporate Affairs at Toyota Ireland.
“This year’s contest, which invited children aged 15 and under to share their visions for the cars of the future, saw hundreds of inspiring entries.”
Toyota created the contest to encourage children to use their creativity and imagination to design their ‘Dream Cars’ of the future.
Children of all abilities were invited to share their visions of future mobility each year.
“We were absolutely thrilled for Katelyn to be recognised by the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest as we have, for many years, highlighted the significant and enabling role of art in education in general but in particular, in the education of our students with additional needs,” said Mary Cody, Principal of Mother of Fair Love Special School.
“It is fantastic to combine the Toyota presentation with our annual Art Exhibition, which showcases the abilities of our students, but also highlights what special schools strive for, for their students – Inclusion.”
