Year 9 Business & Economics

Subject Description

Follow your passion. Always be on the lookout for opportunities. Surround yourself with good people and embrace failure as part of the journey. These are the valuable lessons students will learn in Business Enterprise from their investigation of some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Equipped with these skills, students will work in small groups to create their own business to operate at Market Day, a lunchtime event where they set up stalls and sell their products to students. The process of developing and operating their business will foster foundational skills in market research and marketing, developing brand recognition, budgeting and finance.
