Bizworld Project

Bizworld is a project organised by Bank of Ireland. Our four 5th classes took part in the project which involved coming up with a business idea and trying to sell the idea to prospective investors – similar to the popular TV programme ‘Dragon’s Den’. The classes were split into groups and each group had to come up with their plan and then make a presentation to the 6th. classes.

Hurling Exhibition

We brought all our hurlers to the Geraldine O’harrahan GAA grounds today to put on a hurling exhibition for the rest of the school. The aim was to allow the pupils who hurl an opportunity to show off their skills to their teachers and their class mates and hopefully to encourage a few more pupils to take up the sport. The local club has linked with the local schools with an aim to increase involvement at underage level.
