Even if it were a single line

  * it should be 'echo', not 'cat'
  * the '<include package="schooltool.intervention" />' bit should be
    quoted (and you'll have lots of fun with tripple nesting of quotes
    in bash).

I would suggest

  echo '<include package="schooltool.intervention" />' | \
  sudo tee /etc/schooltool/schooltool-cando/plugins/intervention.zcml

instead.
