All Hallows Catholic College Newsletter Easter Term SPECIALISM OF SUCCESS Groups of Year 7 and 8 Business and Enterprise students celebrated the conclusion of 'The Stalls Project' with an Easter Fair selling batches of 'Easter themed' products this week. Students started this new project soon after Christmas, first conducting primary research to determine their target group and then setting to work designing products suitable for batch production. Products included hand-decorated, recycled phone cases, 'Fab egg key rings', chocolate chick nests, hand-made chocolates and many more. In the classrooms, students worked out their material and equipment costs before determining the best pricing strategy for their products. This was followed by them developing marketing strategies based on elements of the promotional mix. The eagerly awaited Easter Fair finally took place on 30 and 31 March with students queuing up in Spring sunshine to buy from the stalls. Some students had carefully selected 'direct selling' techniques to attract customers to their stalls, whilst others had promoted their businesses in the lead up to Easter. With 50% of all profits going to The India Clinic Appeal, The College's first Easter Fair turned out to be a great success! (JL)

COLLEGE PRAYER
EASTER PRAYER Heavenly Father and God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus among the dead, for he is alive and has become the Lord of life. From the waters of death you raise us up with him and renew your gift of life within us. Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life we share with Christ, and help us to grow as your people toward the fullness of eternal life with you. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
