Morrisby Profile
During Week 3 our students commenced their Morrisby Profiling.
Students completed the testing during their Maths classes. We are extremely impressed in the response to completing the profiling, and the communications that have started in regard to work experience opportunities and future pathways.
Individual student follow up unpacking and interviewing will occur in week 8 and 9 of this term. Parents can and are encouraged to attend this meeting.
Market Day
The students in the Year 9 Enterprising People class created a business proposal as part of their studies. They worked in groups to create an idea to sell something at a school Market Day. Preparation for this included writing a business plan, developing a budget and dividing roles for each group member. The students worked hard to create their products and then to sell them at the market.
They worked well together with many lessons learnt in the area of establishing your own business!
