ENTREPRENEUR WEEK 2016 @ ST. MARY’S COLLEGE

This year Entrepreneur Week was a mash up of surf boards, laughter, cakes, fitness, food, plus only the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year! We were treated to a feast of entrepreneurship from companies starting out, to the well established.

Here’s a snapshot...

Students with Brendan Mooney, Kainos, Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2016

During the months of July and August Artspace Creative Art Centre in Eglinton and the North West Independent Hospital in Ballykelly offered a Summer Volunteer Scheme for students.

The Artspace Centre is a Multi Sensory Centre/Day Opportunities facility for adults and children with additional needs. It offers a multi-sensory learning facility which is vitally important for people with learning disabilities because it enables them to use their personal areas of strength to help them learn. 21 students volunteered here throughout the summer working with adults and also developing & improving upon their own key skills.
