The Level 3 Business Studies class attended the regional ‘Kickstart’ event at Ara in March.

They joined all the schools in the Canterbury region completing the Young Enterprise Scheme in 2021 to learn the challenges they will face this year and the successes they hope to achieve. Much time was spent pitching product ideas to business mentors and gaining valuable feedback which they have taken back into the classroom as they continue the ideation process.

We take this opportunity to thank the people, mostly from our parent community, who have mentored our students in recent years and who are continuing to support them on this challenging learning journey. A big thank you to: Rhys Williams, Emma Newman, Alex Mann, David Weusten, Mike Inder, Amar Verma, Khymne D’Arcy and Mark Forward. Your input and guidance is very much appreciated.
