Entrepreneurship in Action!

Each year, our Year 7 students participate in an exciting entrepreneurship exercise that highlights their business skills and teamwork. Each student receives $50 to purchase items of their choice, which they then resell to generate a profit. We were thoroughly impressed by the creativity and initiative demonstrated by our 2024 cohort. Overall, the students collectively made a profit of over $1,000, which they used to purchase more than 250 new books for our school library! Special congratulations go to our top three students, who received prizes for their outstanding entrepreneurial efforts!

We are incredibly proud of our Year 7 cohort for exemplifying the values of hard work, teamwork, and exceptional business skills. Alta Pete!Image attachmentImage attachment+4Image attachment
