Pupils at Mount Stewart Junior School have successfully raised £2,000 for Riya's Rainbows, a charity dedicated to assisting children with serious illnesses and families experiencing bereavement. The funds were generated through the school's yearly Enterprise Initiative, which saw Year 6 students engage in entrepreneurial activities.
Annual Enterprise Initiative
The Enterprise Initiative is a key part of the school's curriculum, encouraging pupils to develop business concepts, manage financial resources, and create items for sale. Students worked collaboratively to produce crafts, games, and food items, with parents providing support in product preparation and at the community sales event. This project aimed to demonstrate how classroom skills can be applied to achieve tangible outcomes beyond the school environment.
