Budding Journalists in Fifth Class!
Some fifth class students (pictured below) decided to establish a the Fifth Class News Association! They aim to publish as many editions of the Fifth Class Newspaper as possible this year. The newspaper, which is read by staff and students alike, is filled with breaking news stories, advice columns, competitions, quizzes and much more.

Dragon’s Den in Rang a Cúig!
Congratulations to our fifth class students who received the Bank of Ireland Enterprise Town Student Award for their participation in BizWorld! During BizWorld, the students created a product that would help society in some way. They also developed a business plan and pitched the idea to a Dragon! The students created excellent products and impressive business plans. Ideas such as light up backpacks, home gym/fitness apps and homeless outreach initiatives to name but a few! I’m sure we’ll see them on Dragon’s Den in no time! Well done fifth class!
