Dragons’ Lair

Many S4 to S6 teams around North Lanarkshire will be busy preparing their business plans for this year’s Dragons’ Lair event.

May we remind you that the closing date for applications is Monday 10th October.

Here are the brilliant prizes on offer:

Top Prize – a Sony Viao Laptop and Printer for each pupil in the team to take home and £1,000 for the school

Second Prize – an Amazon Kindle for each pupil in the team to take home and £500 for the school

Third Prize – a £50 Amazon voucher for pupil child in the team

All of the children participating in the final will be presented with certificates on the day.

If your establishment is taking part, it is worth taking into account the timetable below, as there is a very short turnaround time between submissions and the notification of successful teams.

·    Monday 10th October – Closing date for applications

·    Tuesday 11th October – Scoring of applications, the top 6 will be selected to participate in the finals

·    Wednesday 12th October – Gillian Timmons from North Lanarkshire’s Regeneration and Infrastructure Business Team will contact successful schools and arrange a visit for the next day

·    Thursday 13th October – Gillian Timmons will visit teams in their own establishments and share useful hints and tips to aid their preparation

·    Tuesday 25th October – Final at the Business Atrium Centre, Coatbridge 1300hrs to 1630hrs

The successful children will be able to bring one friend or family member to support them on the afternoon.  This is limited due to the audience capacity of the atrium.
