Australian Business Week

In Week 9, the Academic Excellence department held their annual Australian Business Week with the Year 9 students in the program. Students were distributed into 9 teams and were tasked with the intimidating proposition of operating a business. Mere moments after forming their team, they had to devise a company name, a logo, a mission statement and a product to entice possible buyers. The 9 teams worked tirelessly and used all of their creativity and ingenuity as they competed in a share price simulation, created an engaging and memorable trade display, presented their business decisions to a group of shareholders, filmed and edited a 30 second TV commercial and worked together as a team. The week culminated with a celebratory dinner on Friday night where Ms Norton’s Orange team was celebrated as the Grand Champion. The students were sensational and despite it being the second last week of school, produced some truly extraordinary work.
