A team of students from St Patrick's Academy in Dungannon are finalists in Subway's Design a Sub challenge.
The competition challenged budding entrepreneurs to design a 6-inch sub or flatbread, based on the theme of Live Fresh.
The pupils now face a Dragon's Den style pitch to a panel of experts in Belfast on Thursday.
The St Patrick’s Academy team consists of three students: Celine Murray, Toma Paulauskaite and Mark McCallion.
The students produced a unique Sub named ‘The Super Sub’, designed to be both a healthy and nutritious sandwich option, created for the SUBWAY® brand’s Low Fat Subs range.
This year’s competition received entries from schools across Northern Ireland.
They have been whittled down to six shortlisted entries.
The stakes are high, as finalists are competing for the chance to see their Sub launched in over 80 stores across Northern Ireland.
They could bag themselves £1,000 of Amazon vouchers.
Jim McGhee, Head of Business at St Patrick’s Academy, says he’s delighted at being shortlisted.
“The team has worked really hard to create the Sub and it has been a great opportunity for them to put their business skills to the test. The whole school is looking forward to the final and are all rooting for them to win,” he says.
SUBWAY® brand entrepreneur, Scot Heyes, says it was a tough decision deciding who would make it to the final pitch.
St Patrick’s Academy will be competing against this year’s other finalist schools: St Paul’s High School, St Louis Grammar, St Colman’s High and Sixth Form College and St Mary’s High School.
