Super €uro's Success!

Last Thursday, the Super€uros bank headed off to Leopardstown Racecourse for the Regional Finals of the AIB Build a Bank Challenge. We were all pretty nervous but excited too!

When we arrived, we registered and then got changed into our superhero costumes! We were then told to go upstairs for refreshments and fruit and stuff for about an hour. We saw all the other teams up there and we knew straight away that it wasn't gonna be easy to do well, the standard was so high! We then began to start setting up our stall :) Here's a picture of it, it turned out good and we were all happy with it :D
After that, Ms McM and our two student officers from AIB Celbridge had to leave because judging was starting. First, we were visited by a Head Judge who talked to us for about 5 minutes then the other judge came around for our 10 minute interview. It went really well and we got all of our main points across. 
Later, we were all sitting in front of the stage and a radio presenter from FM104 started to call out the top 10 teams who had to do a 2 minute presentation in front of everyone - this was so nerve wracking! Luckily we were called our 3rd so we didn't have to sit there nervous for long. 
We all went on stage and our manager Caitriona did our presentation - she did such a great job! 

The judges went to decide the four teams going through to nationals while we learned a dance to surprise the judges with! This was so fun and really took our minds off everything!
After performing the dance they called out the top 4 and the first bank called out was....SUPER€URO'S :D We were all SO happy :D 

We each won a €100 voucher and our school got €250 :D Bring on Nationals now! :)

    1. Thanks Mrs L :)
      We have a few ideas that we're going to start working on for the final. One of them is a Super Euro App for Iphones/Ipods which we would use to tell our members about promotions and things! It'll be hard to make but we're going to try anyway! :)
