Week with a difference for CRHS pupils

Students swap blackboards for boardroom

Year 8 pupils at Castle Rushen High School have had a break from the norm this week.

They've swapped their standard lessons for a business brainstorm, covering all things from budgeting and planning to promoting and advertising.

Charities Beach Buddies and the One World Centre, and outdoor pursuits company Adventurous Experiences, have been lending their support.

Each group of students has been set a challenge to advertise a product - including producing a radio advert and creating a logo.

Bill Dale of Beach Buddies was impressed with what the kids came up with.
