Junior Entrepreneur Programme

18/3/2020

5th and 6th class took part in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme this year. We formed teams to come up with great small businesses - healthy edible goodies, jewellery boxes, keyrings, customised phone cases and even a Jellyfish Sting Kit! We conducted market research, organised budgets and roles within our companies and pitched our ideas to the 'Dragons'. We had great feedback from our celebrity 'dragons' during 'Dragon's Den' at Killeen NS. Míle buíochas to Kris, Mary and Shauna for giving superb advice to each group and interesting ways to improve each of our business ideas. Plans for a 'Market Day' have to be shelved for the moment, but we hope to continue this project when we return to school..support local business!!

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!
