Entrepreneurship Excursion
Year 11 Business students attended the Somerset Celebration of Entrepreneurship in Week 2 of Term 4 and had the opportunity to hear from a variety of industry and academic experts in the field of Business and Entrepreneurship. From Dr Baden U’Ren, the Head of Entrepreneurship at Bond University, to Jack Ray, Executive Director of the Ray Group, the students were able to hear real world experts sharing their knowledge and experiences. Rosa Willis, the co-founder of Gold Coast start-up Crock’d, was one of the panellists students really enjoyed, as she detailed the meteoric rise of her business from small local operator to US expansion in only eight months. Students will apply this knowledge through their Year 12 Business studies and this opportunity provided them with valuable exposure to real world examples of business in action.
