TY Student Enterprise Christmas Fair

Our TY Student Enterprise Christmas Fair took place on Monday 16th December. The Student Enterprise Programme is Ireland’s biggest student enterprise competition. It enables students to acquire real life skills associated with running a business – working as part of a team, managing finances, organising a marketing campaign, liaising directly with customers etc. Our Christmas Fair was a fantastic success again this year and afforded students the opportunity to display their innovative ideas.

 

Carol Singing in Marymount Nursing Home

Our Annual Carol Singing in Marymount Nursing Home took place on Tuesday 10th December under the musical direction of Ms Kearney & Ms Mellett. All fifth and sixth year students and staff were invited to attend the event. Christmas Cards, made by Ms Kearney’s 2nd and 3rd year Irish classes were presented to the residents. It was, as always, a very moving occasion for all.
