FOOTT CEO Andrew Yeoland Inspires Year 12 Business Students

Recently, our Year 12 Business students had the privilege of welcoming Andrew Yeoland, CEO of FOOTT, who generously shared his time and insights to support students in their final preparations for end-of-year exams.

Andrew’s presentation offered a valuable glimpse into real-world business leadership, and his key takeaways were both practical and inspiring. He emphasised the importance of:

Planning – strategic foresight is essential
Continuous learning – always seek to grow and develop new skills
Team involvement – “people are everything”
Data-driven decision making – using data to adapt, evolve, and improve

Students were particularly engaged during the Q&A session, asking thoughtful questions that demonstrated both curiosity and a strong grasp of business concepts, ‘good work Cam Reid’.

FOOTT’s commitment to the community was another standout theme. Through the FOOTT Cares Sponsorship Program, they support not-for-profit groups and community organisations, aiming to improve the quality of life in the areas they serve.

A big thank you to Andrew and the FOOTT team for their generosity and support of our students during this important time in their educational journey. Your contribution has left a lasting impact.

Year 11- Your Money Matters

Our Year 11 students recently had the fantastic opportunity to take part in a practical and insightful session presented by Arkid Shirokaj from Primary Care Connect. With adulthood fast approaching, the session was all about preparing our students for the real-world decisions they'll soon be making.

Topics included:

🏠 Moving out of home
🧾 Creating a budget
🚗 Buying a car
💳 Loans and credit cards
💡 Smart ways to save and prioritise spending

The session also covered the serious topic of gambling, highlighting its potential impact on wellbeing, finances, and the wider community.

With Year 12 just around the corner, it’s the perfect time for our students to start building financial confidence and independence.

A huge thank you to Arkid and the team at Primary Care Connect for helping to set our students up for success beyond the classroom.
