The selection process was very rigorous and Noel was chosen from 900 pupils in the Key Programme to represent his country.

The Key Programme is a residential cross border and cross community initiative combining enterprise training and outdoor activity. It is delivered by Young Enterprise Northern Ireland and Junior Achievement Ireland with support from the International Fund for Ireland.

St. Patrick’s has taken part in the programme for a number of years but this is the first time one of it’s students was chosen for such an accolade.

St. Patrick’s was teamed with Hazelwood College, Newtownabbey and Community School, Carrick-On-Shannon. The three schools had completed four residentials learning many skills which will equip them for future life and encourage them to become successful entrepreneurs.
