Year 10 Enterprise and Innovation students recently showcased their entrepreneurial skills as part of their $20 Boss Market Day assessment. With just $20 in start-up capital each, students established their own small businesses and sold a range of products during Market Day last week. Fourteen student-run businesses competed with one another in the Marion Centre, creating a vibrant and exciting marketplace.
Throughout the assessment, students completed every stage of running a business—from budgeting, costings and market research to designing prototypes, testing recipes, creating marketing materials, and developing a comprehensive Business Plan.
Market Day was a tremendous success, with students demonstrating creativity, teamwork and enterprise. The stalls featured a variety of products, including delicious sweet treats, reflecting the students' enthusiasm, problem-solving skills and innovation.
The following awards were given to businesses:
- Most Profit: Mini Munch, run by Augustina K, Allegra B and Addison F, with a profit of $217.
- Most Innovative Product:
- Loaded Churros (Sofia H, Lily D, Amelia G)
- Citrus Crunch (Jess K, Valeria I, Madeline D, Piyumi D)
- Best Store Presentation:
- Cocoa Crumble Chipmunks (Evie C, Coco H, Katie H, Olivia C)
- Brownie and Churro Bar (Raavi M, Chloe M, Ariana P)
The Market Day experience provided a valuable hands-on insight into the world of business and entrepreneurship. All proceeds from the event will be donated to McAuley For Women and Children.
