Year 10 Students Take on the $20 Boss Business Challenge
This term, our Year 10 Business Management and Enterprise students have put their creativity and entrepreneurial skills to the test through the $20 Boss Business Project. Each student worked in teams to design, develop, and run their own small business stall at the College.
The project encouraged students to think innovatively, work collaboratively, and experience the real challenges and rewards of running a business. From brainstorming ideas, sourcing materials, and managing finances, to marketing their products and engaging with customers, students gained valuable hands-on experience in what it takes to turn an idea into a reality.
The highlight of the project was the business stall showcase, where students proudly presented and sold their products to the school community. The stalls were a fantastic display of creativity and hard work, and it was wonderful to see the enthusiasm and teamwork shine through
