Year 6 Yakult Factory

As part of their inquiry into the Consumer System, Year 6 students visited the Yakult Factory and Centre Road in Bentleigh. At Centre Road, students had the opportunity to discuss with shopkeepers how their business operates. Students developed new understandings about how the supply chain for individual businesses works and how it is different from business to business. 

At the Yakult factory, students engaged in the manufacturing process of the popular drink, Yakult. Students developed new understandings of the manufacturing process and how the distribution of Yakult around Australia and New Zealand works. Students used this excursion to further consolidate their understanding of the consumer system in preparation for their Exhibition evening early in Term 3. 

A big thank you to all the families of the Year 6 students who volunteered and help make this excursion possible.
