Junior Achievement

11/12/2014

For the past number of weeks we have been working with Martina Mulchrone from Allergan on the Junior Achievement Programme. We learned all the skills you need to set up a business. We played lots of team building games which were very enjoyable and we studied STEM Skills - Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. We need these to do everyday things like setting the table or eating lunch! We examined C.V.s and and carried out a job interview. We hope to get a tour of Allergan in the New Year. We rate this programme five stars and we want to thank Martina for being a great leader.

The West Mayo / Maigh Eo Thiar Scór competition took place in Kilmeena yesterday evening and our school was very well represented by Áine Conneely, Ellen Dyar, Jasmine O'Malley and Róisín Keating.

Comhghairdeas mór do Jasmine who WON the solo singing category and now proceeds to Scór na bPáistí County Final on Saturday 8th March.

Very well done to Áine in the sean-nós dancing category and also to Ellen, Rósín, Áine and Jasmine in the instrumental category which was of a very high standard. There is no shortage of exceptional talent here in West Mayo in music, song and dance.

Míle buíochas to the parents of the children for getting them together to practise. Warm thanks to Christina and past pupil Seamie for their musical arrangements and tuition.

Go n-éirí le Jasmine sa county final!
