Throughout the term, our Year 9 Commerce students worked tirelessly to develop their own small businesses, and on Wednesday, 10th September, they brought them to life, presenting to students from Years 5 to 12. From delicious Shawarma, Tacos, Dubai strawberries, cookies, crepes, doughnuts and much more🍓🌮🍪 – to exciting carnival games 🎯🎟️ – the variety and creativity on display were outstanding!

This event was more than just fun – it was a powerful example of how the curriculum can come alive. Students rose to the challenge of becoming young entrepreneurs, managing logistics, securing their own sponsors, and learning the realities of business firsthand.
