P.7 pupils successfully complete the Junior Entrepreneur Programme

13th Apr 2018

Congratulations to our P.7 pupils who have successfully completed the Junior Entrepreneur Programme.  This is the first time our school has participated in this programme and pupils and teacher felt that it was extremely worthwhile and a valuable learning experience for the children.

 As you will see from the photographs the P.7 pupils came up with several great ideas.  They then invited three 'dragons' in to school and pitched these ideas to them.  The standard of presentation and public speaking from the children was excellent.  After deliberation, the dragons choose the NELC creation ' St Pat's Hats' as the winning project. 

The P.7's then split up into Project teams - Marketing, Sales, Finance, Storytelling, Design and Production.  Market Research helped the decision-making process and the end result was that high quality, unique and attractive bobble hats are now available in four colours - bottle green, light grey, dark grey and navy blue. 

These hats have the school crest on them and cost only £7.99. 

The pupils held their 'Showcase' days in the school foyer from 21st - 23rd March and lots of pupils bought the hats.

The hats are now available to buy in the school office from Mrs Brown.

There is a display of the Junior Entrepreneur Project work in the bottom corridor and parents are most welcome to visit the school to look at the great work undertaken.

Well done to Mr Mc Conville and all the P.7's!
