Tracy Rossborough, a former pupil of Larne Grammar School, was presented with the award by BBC Northern Ireland’s Tara Mills.

Tracy was nominated for the honour by one of her pupils at Ashfield Girls’ High School in East Belfast, where she has been a teacher for 25 years, because of her commitment to education and her incessant pursuit of opportunities outside the classroom for her students.
