Student success at market days

This term, Commerce classes in Year 9 and Year 10 held their market days as part of their ‘Running a Business’ topic.  There were a variety of delicious snacks on sale includng milkshakes, iced teas, cupcakes, pizza, snow cones, Dutch pancakes, stuffed cookies, churro balls, hot chips, nem nuong, kitchen kebab sticks, spring rolls, pide and samosas.

In the lead up to their market days, students learned about the operations, marketing and finance functions of businesses and had the opportunity to develop business plans and advertise their products. To fund their businesses, students made personal contributions which they have decided to contribute to their chosen charities.

The goal of both Commerce classes was to raise as much money as possible to donate to their chosen charities. This year NSW Rural Fire Services, Vinnies Bushfire Appeal and World Vision Australia will be receiving a total of over $2000 in donations from Cecil Hills High School.

Thank you to all the students, teachers and parents who supported our Commerce classes this year.
