Year 11 VCAL Mother's Day Project

Year 11 VCAL Mother's Day Project

This year the Year 11 Architects of Change (AOC) students held a Mother’s Day stall for the Year 7 and 8 students and it went off with a hit.

The AOC students designed and made bath bombs, cookies, candles and pot plant holders. 11 Sanchez started to make their pots towards the end of Term 1 and continued the first day back of Term 2. 11Canisius started to make and perfect their bath bombs and candles around half way through Term 1.

The Sale began toward the 3-4th week of Term 2 and it went amazingly, with us selling $1300 worth of our products.

Each group made a profit of about $50-$80 so for everyone in the school it was a great day! We had pots in many different shapes, size and colour. The Bath bombs and candles came in different scents, colours and sizes. Down in the 11 AOC classrooms all you could smell from them was the smell of vanilla from the bath bombs.

It was great to see all the eager faces of the Year 7 and 8 students frantically trying to get something that their mothers would like.

The AOC students learnt about product management, team work, time management and money balancing. Through the eyes of us in the VCAL program this was a great project which everybody participated in and had a good time, as well as learning lots.

Special thanks to Ms Wood and Ms Hodge for supporting the stall and to our Personal Development teachers Mr Martschinke and Bu Allan for their ideas, support and direction.
