Business Management

In Year 11 Business Management, students have been learning about entrepreneurship and innovation. This week we were lucky enough to have Lisa Bartalotta from the Logan Street Corner Store speak to the students about her business and the factors she needed to consider when starting up. Students will use the information gained from this session when writing up their first assessment task, a business report.

The Year 12 Business Management class has been learning about Business Foundations. When learning about management styles and skills they had a practical lesson creating a spaghetti tower and demonstrating these management styles and skills. This culminated in them completing their first assessment task for the year.
