i.protect Strikes Again!

On Friday May 8^th, my mini company group - i.protect, were invited to attend the Bank of Ireland Business and Community Expo in the Celbridge Manor Hotel. It was a great day out and it was a great opportunity to talk with other businesses, and advertise our Mini Company product. 

There were several guest speakers on the day, including former Dragon on “The Dragons Den” Norah Casey.

Our mini company was in competition with the brilliant “Bam-Beauty”, also from St. Wolstan’s. The competition was judged by Norah Casey, and though there was not much in it, i.protect won!! We won an iPad Mini and a trophy, which was very exciting!

It was an enjoyable day, and the i.protect team were delighted to take part in the event!

Swim A Mile, With A Smile :-)

On Wednesday 6th, St.Wolstan's TYs and 5th year LCVP students took part in the annual Swim A Mile, in the National Aquatic Centre in Blanchardstown. This is a well known fundraiser in Ireland, which raises money for Barretstown, a summer camp where seriously ill children can go for a week to have fun and take part in several different activities. 

The task was to swim a total of 64 lengths of a 25 metre pool, to complete one whole mile. It could be done in groups, or individually.

I decided that I was going to try and swim the mile by myself. It was hard work but it felt so satisfying when I had completed the full mile! We went to Blanchardstown shopping centre after for food :) 

Everyone did so well, and it was really nice to take part in such an important charity event!
