In preparation for Money Matters Week, representatives from the Newry and Crossmaglen branches of Bank of Ireland visited Year 13 and Year 14 boys to provide practical advice and guidance on how to manage money during university years.

Students were asked to work out a manageable budget during university and match it to their student loan and savings.

They were also encouraged to open a student friendly bank account and start thinking ahead about how they were going to finance their third level education.

Thanks to past pupil, Lisa Doran, who co-ordinated the event.
