Australian Business Week 

Week 8, Term 4, otherwise known as Australian Business Week saw our Year 10 students don their business hats ready to dive into the real and virtual worlds of business management. The students were well and truly inspired and duly developed meaningful business and life skills.

Small business groups were formed where each student stepped up to various management roles in a collaborative setting to create and run a virtual small cafe` business within a competitive marketplace. They were then tasked with the responsibility of controlling operations, finances, marketing, product/service development and much more. The results were outstanding.

We saw these companies develop ideas from the ground up, strategising. leading and responding. Creativity flowed and was brought to life through graphic artworks, video presentations, cocktail umbrellas and even suits and heels. This invaluable opportunity allowed Year 10 to develop an understanding for business concepts, problem solving and mathematical application whilst working to improve their communication and collaborative skills, their critical and creative thinking abilities and an understanding of their role in the greater community and perhaps even set them on the path to their future career. 

Congratulations go out to all students, especially the overall winners 'Bean There, Done That' lead by CEO Nic H. and the following category winners; 'Le Chateau' winners of our Simulation Programme, lead by Maddy L and 'Lights, Camera, Coffee' led by Zane M.

Overall Australian Business Week was a great success and those who attended the Trade Fair were not only lucky enough to endulge in some tasty treats, but also had the privilege of witnessing first hand the result of hard work and seeing setbacks being transformed into success. Marsden High School is proud of all participants, their achievements and efforts throughout the week. 

Thank you to all of the staff, to Mrs. Swinkels and Ms. Sharma for co-ordinating this massive week and to P&C members - Mr. Low and Ms. Travis for assisting us all throughout this massive event.
