Co Louth pupils to show off business skills at special Christmas fair in Drogheda

Students are showing off their business skills to the public this week at a special Christmas fair in Co Louth.

The entrepreneurs of the future from St Ita's School in Drogheda will be showcasing their talents at Scotch Hall shopping centre in the town this Wednesday.

They will be selling Christmas decorations, presents, cakes, marmalades and chutneys along with Christmas logs - all of which they've produced in cookery, art and woodwork classes.

The four classes of senior students, aged 16-18, have even formed their own company - Clever Crafts - to market their goods.

This is the sixth year the public has the chance to snap up the produce.

St Ita's Career and employment facilitator, Andrea Hermes, said: "It is a great way to teach them entrepreneurial skills and how to interact with customers.

"It also teaches them that they have to behave in a certain way, dress a certain way, smile and communicate with others."

The event, which will also see the school choir performing, takes place in Scotch Hall Level 1 from 10.30am-1.30pm on Wednesday.

All are welcome.
