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! :)

Bank :)

Theres a good few things going on right now including running the school bank, Super Euro's! We're getting ready for the launch which I'm excited about because we have big plans including a few guest appearences. It's taking place at the end of February so hopefully it'll all go to plan.
The regional competition is taking place in March so we're running promotions and things around the school to let people know about the bank. One promotion is our Valentines Day one which is if you join the bank with one of your friends you both get a prize. And if a cirrent bank member brings a friend to join the bank they both get a prize too! :) We have a good few great prizes to choose from!

We've set up a blog for our bank so click here to go onto it!

Super Euro's

As I've already said a while ago, I'm part of the school bank team. We've set up the bank in the school and we're getting members pretty quickly! During the Christmas we spent a day organising how to promote the bank around the school and how to get members to join. We have some great ideas for members to take part in. At the moment we're giving a lollypop to everyone who brings their application form back. But there will be many more promotions throughout the year.
1st and 2nd years are our target market and after talking to first years yesterday, there are a lot more people interested!
The regional competition takes place sometime in February or March I think so that'll be good :)

We've set up a blog for our bank and when I know the link to it, i'll post it here. I can't remember it right now... But on the blog we're going to post all the latest news and competitions in relation to the bank :)

Build a Bank :)

So the week before midterm I had an interview in school to be on the build a bank team. Build a Bank is a competition where we have to set up and run a bank in our school and then we go to competitions and compete against other schools.
I applied for the position of auditor and a little while after the interview I found out I got it :) Theres only 6 people on the team so I was really suprised I was chosen! I can't wait to start working on our bank and our team is great. Its going to be a fun few months :D
