NHS Market Day

On Friday 8 September, the Year 11 Business Management class held their own Nossal High School Market Day at lunchtime. 

Market Day is an opportunity for Business Management students to plan and run their own businesses. This business activity allows students to apply the theory, knowledge and skills that they have been exploring since the beginning of the year in class to develop and operate their own business. Each business team considered the purpose of their business, constructed a marketing plan, and then developed their operational and financial plan to implement in a practical manner during this lunchtime trade.

The different business teams that participated during Market Day included:

• ‘Made in China’ - a group selling a range of Asian snacks and drinks.
• ‘Lucky’ - a wheel of fortune game where students spun the wheel to win a variety of prizes.
• ‘Hot Potato’ - a group who ran a stall where they cooked and sold hot chips with a variety of condiments; and
• ‘Ecksdee’ - a service business operating on a competition based gaming platform.

The Business Management students and I would like to thank the staff and students of Nossal High School for their involvement and support of Market Day. The Business Management students who operated their businesses should be proud of their efforts with all profits earnt on Market Day donated to the State School Relief Fund.
