Running a Business Events
At the end of May, the Year 9/10 elective Running a Business students held two very successful events. These were held at both campuses, so all our students and staff had the opportunity to purchase items from the business stalls. The Running a Business course involves both theory and the practical application of skills, as the students work in groups to research, design, produce, market and sell products. All of the profits are donated to nominated charities. This semester, the two classes were able to donate $2,464 to 14 different charities. This is thanks to wonderful support from the whole Braemar College community.
This semester we had some impressive hand-crafted creations from pillows and worry pets to candles and fragrances to jewellery. There were terrariums and slime, t-shirts, bracelets, fidget rings and keychains. We also had a photobooth. Something for everyone.
A special thanks to Mrs Jones and Mr Simpson for their technical advice and support and thanks to other staff who assisted with requests for help, allowed market research in their classes and encouraged the students to support some worthy charities. Ms Scobell was also seen purchasing from almost every stall. Thank you so much to you all. We will be back at the end of Semester 2!
