Peace funds never hit Bush Post Primary School when I was younger. There were never any cross-Border initiatives. We were the nearest secondary school to the Border, yet we were never included and our voices were never there even though we were part of the conversation, or should have been part. My whole thing is to bring it right down to each school. It would be up to schools if they wanted to take part or not and if there was capacity within them. A student who excels at something or a prefect might be picked, but it is often the person who is the most disadvantaged or the quietest who has the best things to say.
