it all adds up
Year 12 Accounting Students from Brunswick Secondary performed magnificently at the recent Monash Accounting Competition.
Natalie Chung, Kim On and Layla Abdi-Hashi presented well in the final of the Monash University Accounting Week Case Study Competition held on Wednesday the 20th of September.
The competition involved analysing and interpreting financial data for a fictional company named A3 Milk. The girls successfully wrote a report advising 'management' on decisions. Thier report impressed judges to the extent that they were placed among the top six teams.
The Brunswick Secondary College team was the only group competing who were from a public education system school.
The next phase of the competition was to prepare for an oral presentation, again at Monash University. The girls had to present to Professors and a Doctor in Accounting. Natalie, Kim and Layla demonstrated thorough preparation in their presentation and they really impressed the audience.
Although they didn’t win the competition, the girls are adamant that the chance to participate in the challenge was very beneficial for them. As a teacher, it was great to see them translate their classroom learning through a 'real life' scenario and to see them succeed so well.
