Cuchulainn Heart Challenge

St Tiernan’s Community School are delighted to host the annual event of the  Cuchulainn Heart Challenge. The Cuchulainn Heart Challenge is a Business, Enterprise and Citizenship Programme designed for school pupils aimed at nurturing them as future business leaders, responsible citizens and enterprising employees.

The challenge, focused in the Transition Year Programme, challenges students over the course of a day, to participate in a high impact business challenge; devising practical, effective and targeted community action projects specifically looking at local issues. Students on the day come together in teams  to develop a comprehensive Business Proposal with input from their Business Coach. All materials are provided by Cuchulainn Heart Challenge. The Business Proposal must include: a full HR Solutions Plan for the team; a Product Solution which is based on the needs and wants of the target customers; a Financial Solution; and a full Marketing Solution. On completion of these tasks, the teams put together, practice and rehearse their Team Final Presentation, which is then presented to a panel of judges of Dundrum Town Centre and School Community representatives as well as their peers.
