Summercove NS One of Four Cork Schools among the Top Award Winners!
Congratulations to 5th Fifth Class in Summercove National School, Kinsale, who received the Marketing Gurus Award for their JEP business, The Kinsale Cookbook.
The beautifully produced cookbook featured recipes from restaurants in the gourmet capital as well as the pupils’ favourite dishes. The pupils organised a whole-school art competition to create artwork for the front cover and each section of the book. Themes included air fryer favourites, school lunch ideas and family-friendly recipes.
The class pulled out all the stops when it came to marketing and promotion. They designed and placed a print ad in the local Advertiser, made an incredibly creative video ad, and also advertised on the school website. The class held a community Showcase Day in the Temperance Hall in the town centre to tell their story and sell their recipe book. Their efforts were rewarded with a whopping €4,600 in sales and a further €1,420 in sponsorship. The project turned a profit of €3235.
This is two in a row for Summercove National School and teacher Sinéad de Bhaill. In 2023, Sinéad and her 5th class won the JEP Finance Wizards award.
