Enterprising Showcase

It was a great day last Tuesday 7th June as the Year 10 Business Management students put the finishing touches on their ‘Enterprising $20 Boss Projects.’

The crowd was building with anticipation as the time grew closer to the lunchtime bell. Within an instant, 100's of students descended upon the 12 start up businesses. There was plenty to choose from including homemade unique jewellery boxes, fairy floss, chocolate cookies, milkshakes, HSP's, ( Hallal Snack Packs ), ice cream lemonade spiders, healthy fruit smoothies, hot chocolates, steaming hot nachos and homemade cookie dough.

During the planning and development of this project, students showcased their entrepreneurial skills such as negotiation, innovation, initiative, marketing, advertising, teamwork and communication. It was a rollercoaster of an adventure as the business students were able to quickly and effectively recognise the connection between the business management theory and putting it into practice - to become their own bosses!

Hopefully in time we will get to see the next generation of Elon Musks' (Tesla), Jeff Bezos' (Amazon) or Janine Allis' ( Boost Juice ).

Importantly, all the proceeds of the day will be donated to Orange Sky, a Not for Profit organisation supporting the homeless in our community by providing a free laundry service, a shower and a conversation. Well done team.
