The boys of fifth class are currently taking part in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme which is a nationwide initiative that allows children the opportunity to develop their own business. In class today we had a Dragons Den style event where Ms. Meeneghan, Mr. Gleeson and special guest Mr. Niall McGarry, founder of Joe.ie, put the boys through their paces. Six groups presented their products with the winners being Dara Murray and Conor Costello for their company Teee Bags. Well done to all the boys who have taken part so far!
The boys have really enjoyed learning all about Tom Crean in history. They even attempted to make replicas of the James Caird which Tom sailed on to try and rescue his fellow shipmates who were stricken on Elephant Island! They then tested to see would their lifeboats float in the sink!
