Each year TY students are invited to participate in a nationwide competition to build their own bank in our school. This opportunity is in conjunction with AIB and in particular AIB bank in Tallaght Village. Students interview for one of 6 places on the bank team, once selected the students select a theme and go about launching their bank, this involves promotion, marketing, presentation and running of the school bank. All other year groups are encouraged to open an account and save with the school bank, which open in the school hall one lunch time a week.
The competition elements come in when the students create a business plan and then present their bank to a panel of judges in the national finals held in the RDS in March.
All those involved will develop team building, presentation, financial, marketing and ICT skills.
