Young Enterprise Centre of Excellence

Saint Patrick’s College is proud to announce it has been recognised as a Centre of Excellence by Young Enterprise. This prestigious designation acknowledges the school’s exceptional commitment to equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives.

“We are thrilled to receive this recognition from Young Enterprise,” said Roisin Woods, Principal of Saint Patrick’s College. “Financial literacy is a critical life skill, and we are dedicated to providing our students with a strong foundation in this area. This Centre of Excellence designation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff who worked with Young Enterprise to provide insightful and engaging programmes to empower our students to be financially responsible.”

The Young Enterprise Centre of Excellence programme recognises schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to financial education across the curriculum. To achieve this designation, Saint Patrick’s College underwent a rigorous assessment process that evaluated the school’s financial education and student engagement in financial literacy programs.

“At Saint Patrick’s College we believe that financial education is not just learning about money management,” said Mrs Woods, “It’s about developing critical thinking skills, fostering responsible decision-making, and preparing students for future success.”

As a Centre of Excellence, Saint Patrick’s College will continue to expand its financial education offerings, providing students with even more opportunities to learn about personal finance.
