On Tuesday 8 September Year 8 took part in the ‘Your School Your Business’ programme run by Young Enterprise Northern Ireland.

The many creative and interactive activities gave students an insight into the practical day-to-day running of their new school. They had the opportunity to interview Mr Wheeler, the school’s Bursar, to find out about his role as a non-teaching member of staff.

The programme enabled students to develop a number of skills which they will need to be successful as they begin their time at RSD, including communication, teamwork and problem-solving.

The event was a great success and was thoroughly enjoyed by Year 8, as well as the Year 13 pupils who assisted as mentors for the programme.
