ENTERPRISING GIRLS

Academy of Enterprising Girls

We are very fortunate to have the ongoing support of the Rotary Club of Brighton, who in partnership with Young Change Agents offered schools in the Bayside area to be part of the Academy of Enterprising Girls. It was fabulous to have 18 of our students (across Years 8-11) from Brighton Secondary College that took up this opportunity to be involved in this program. I encourage all students to regularly check Compass and their emails to ensure they can take up and be involved in the many opportunities that BSC has to offer.

Year 10 Student reflection

On Friday the 2nd of October, I attended the Academy of Enterprising Girls workshop. The primary focus of this workshop was how to create, validate, and present a business idea. Throughout the day, we were put into small groups with other students from different schools where we had to come up with a business idea that was beneficial to the community, and work on the steps to form the whole concept of our idea. I found this workshop really helpful for me personally as it showed me what the next steps are once you have a business idea, whilst also building teamwork and communication skills with students from other schools, who we had never met before! I strongly recommend this workshop, if our school has this opportunity again, especially for students out there who are still unsure of what they want to do when they finish school, as it really opened by eyes to this aspect of the workplace.
