6th Class pupils recently made a generous donation from their own Confirmation money to help those in Cork who are struggling and in need. Caitríona Twomey, Cork Penny Dinner’s Volunteer Coordinator, travelled down from Cork to outline all of the fantastic work that Cork Penny Dinners do. Caitriona commended the children’s generosity and emphasised that the €480 raised would go a long way and make a significant difference to those who really need it.

Well done Rang a Sé!

On Friday the 3rd of March, Dromahane National school celebrated world book day. It was a very enjoyable day!! Here are the staff  all dressed up! Can you guess who is who??

The students of 6th class have worked diligently over the last couple of months under the guidance of their teacher Ms.Brennan to create entrepreneurial businesses as part of the Junior Entrepreneur Programme. The class were divided into groups and each group set out to create a real business conceived from scratch with real products and services to attract real customers who pay for what is produced.

The ideas created were excellent and varied from calendars, to coasters, to Dromahane’s own version of Monopoly ‘Dromopoly’ . The deciding vote was cast by our three dragons: Mr. Murray, Ms. O’Sullivan and a special guest dragon Jim Barry of Barry Group, Mallow. The decision was tough but was made and the winning group together with all of 6th class will bring their business to the Junior Entrepreneur Showcase Day.

A special thank you to Jim Barry who took the time to come and see our projects!!
