Junior Entrepreneur Programme

The Senior Room will shortly start working on ideas for participation in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP).  Briefly, each child proposes an idea and during the 12-16 week programme, one is selected as the class business. Each child invests a small amount of capital in the business and receives their share of the profits. It’s not just a business plan, but a real business conceived from scratch with real products and services and real customers who pay for what is produced. It all comes together at the Junior Entrepreneur School Showcase Day.  Follow the link for more info:  www.juniorentrepreneur.ie

Dragons Den at SSE!

As part or the Junior Entrepreneur Programme, (JEP), we are looking for local entrepreneurs to come and chat to the class or take part in a Dragons Den!  Each group will present their idea to the Den who will then choose the concept that will be taken forward to the final stages.  This will all happen around the first week of February.  If you or a family member fit the bill and are interested in encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs, please contact the office or email us at schoolofficeredcross@gmail.com.

Panto Trip

On Friday, we headed off to the Gaiety Panto where we joined lots of other schools to watch Robin Hood.  The show was great! It was full of laughs and got the whole school in a festive mood. A big thanks to last year's Parents' Association for organising the trip.  Lots of fun was had by all.   It was no ordinary panto, it was the Gaiety Panto!

Christmas Panto Trip

Excitement is building for our trip to see the Gaiety Christmas Panto on Fri Dec 9th!!

Pupils should arrive at school no later than 8.45 for a 9.00am departure. Children are to wear full, clean uniform and bring a packed lunch with one treat. Spending money is not permitted.  Please ensure that your child eats a hearty breakfast as lunch will not be eaten until after the show.  We aim to arrive back at school at approx 3.00pm.  As with all school trips, our Code of Behaviour applies and if you require your child to bring a mobile phone, we will need your written permission. 

Christmas Jumper Day

To coincide with International Christmas Day, the Parents Association will hold a 'Decorate your own Christmas Jumper Day' on Friday, December 16th.   It will be a great opportunity to get creative in preparation for Christmas, by transforming an old jumper, at home,  into a wonderful Christmas creation to wear into school!  Cost per child is €2.00.
