P7s day of reckoning arrived as the Junior Entrepreneur Programme progressed to the 'Dragon's Den' stage. Ideas and business plans had been prepared. Prototypes prepared. The Dragons were ready!
Each of the groups presented their pitch to our three dragons in the school hall. Mr Danny Bohill (Wolfhound Direct), Mr Danny Sharvin (POS Electrical) & Ms Joan O'Hara (Down Business Centre).
The groups were:
- Magic Memories
- Crafty Calendars
- J'Adore Signs
- Buddy Bookmarks
- Brilliant Bags
After much deliberation, the dragons chose Buddy Bookmarks as the JEP business for the P7s this year. They will now invest their own money to get the business up and running and we cannot wait to be able to order their special bookmarks. All profits will be spent by the P7s - hopefully there's plenty to enjoy!
A big thanks to our wonderful Dragons who were brilliant with the children and really ensured that it was a fantastic experience for them. Lots of sound advice passed on as well!
