Young Enterprise Primary Programme rolled out in St. Malachy's Primary School

The Young Enterprise Primary Programme has provided primary 7 children at St. Malachy's with a truly innovative learning experience. The programme has given the children the opportunity to understand how individuals, families, communities and nations make decisions that effect their daily life and economic well being. This knowledge, together with the activities and experiences shared should give pupils an informed view of the attitudes and skills that are necessary to succeed in the world beyond the classroom as well as within it. Children learned that countries of the world rely on each other for their resources needs and wants. Through a world resource map, trading game and international enterprise challenge children simulated decisions that countries and business make. The primary 7 children at St. Malachy's currently are working closely with the Bank of Ireland and Simply Fruit (a local business) furthering their understanding of the world of work and business.
