This year we will be selling keyrings to first and second years containing their timetables, a 6th year Year Book to keep their memories of the Sacred Heart safe and together for the years to come, a Maths Dictionary for all ages to help those doing project maths. As well as our main products, we will be making many other small products such as cards and calendars, which we will be selling for our Sales Day coming up on the 14th of December!

So far, in the year we have received many orders for our keyrings in the school and as Qwerty Ltd. we hope to receive many more orders for our products not only from our school but from the public too, so as to have a very successful and productive year.
