St Joseph’s Mercy Navan – Ezio Lupo Bursary 2018 Winners!

For the third time in five years, our school has won the Ezio Lupo Bursary Competition. The fabulous prize is a 5 day trip to Italy for the winning group and two teachers. The prize is sponsored by the Lupo family from Navan and the Town Council. The competition is based on the links between Ireland and Italy and Navan and Broccostella.

Broccostella is a town in the Province of Frosinone in the Lazio Region of Italy. Broccostella is the original home of the local Lupo family. The Bursary was set up in memory of 20 year old Ezio who was killed in a car accident in Navan in 2004.


The winning girls pictured from left to right are Emily Navagh-Burke, Salome Maher-Bordalo and Heather Mai Kane. Many thanks to the girls’ teacher Ms Smith, the Lupo family and the Town Council.
