Launch of 'Little Luxuries'

Huge congratulations to our talented 5th Year Leaving Cert Applied students on the successful completion of their Vocational Preparation and Guidance (VPG) Task!

The students turned their vision into reality by launching their own enterprise, 'Little Luxuries'. From the initial concept to the final product, they showcased incredible creativity and business acumen. The team designed their own branding—centered around the beautiful tagline "Sip, Soak, Sweeten, Smile"—and applied their custom labels to handcrafted lip scrubs and nourishing hand creams.

Watching the students manage every stage of production, from mixing and making to carefully packaging each item, was a testament to their hard work and attention to detail.
