Shane Burke will be presented with a merit of achievement after impressing the judges at LYIT for his business initiative ‘Rubber Bandits’ which is an anti-bullying wristband. Danny McGinley will be receiving a certificate for completing a business plan.
Ms Fiona Temple, Principal stated “We are very proud of the boy’s achievements and wish them well in the Helix for their Awards.

I have no doubt this success will lead to further achievements in years to come for them.”
