Enterprise Awards
Anne Browne, Business Advisor from Roscommon County Enterprise Board, visited the school on Monday 20th September. She introduced the Transition Year Students to the Student Enterprise Awards Competition. This involves the students working in teams to come up with a business idea for a product or service. They must then research and develop the idea and market it. The teams will compete at school level initially with the winning team going on to represent the school at county level. Anne will visit the student again in early October to assess progress and advise the students.
