MY EXPERIENCE OF ENTERPRISE DAY

Every year we have an Enterprise Day. The students of fifth and sixth class come up with different ideas to rasie money for Africa. The Enterprise Day in 2008 was great fun. It was really sunny so the oudoor games could go ahead. The outdoor games were a football tournament, penalty shootout, sweet collecting and many more. Meanwhile, inside there were buns, sweets, cakes, hotfood, paintings and lots more. Fifth and Sixth class learned a lot about running a business and the most enterprising student won a prize. In our stall we had sweets, buns, paintings, glass paintings, drinks, popcorn, colours and a lucky dip. All are welcome on the day so why not come along to our 2009 Enterprise Day. Details of the date will be available at a later stage .

Primary School Level - Most Enterprising Student


The Offaly Most Enterprising Student Programme is designed to promote the concept of business enterprise to students at national school level.

All primary schools in the county can nominate a student who has displayed entrepreneurial talent throughout the year. Examples of businesses set up include breeding and selling canaries, lawn maintenance, selling eggs, making bird tables and providing farm relief services. In addition other students have been nominated for their sporting or creative skills, some displaying enterprising qualities such as courage, determination and adaptability to overcome challenges in their lives.

Each nominated student is presented with a prize pack and framed certificate.
