On the 23rd and 24th March MGC hosted the BP Business Challenge for two Year 11 Business Studies classes.

The BP Business Challenge requires students to work in groups to solve a current issue the Marlborough District Council is trying to solve: 

"How to get more people to stop, play and stay in Blenheim".

We had ideas ranging from water parks in the Sounds to Gondolas and Luges on the Wither Hills. We also had two judges from the community join us to evaluate students' pitches at the end of the day.

A big thank you to our 2022 Judges - Kylie Matthews and Kamni Raju-Russel as well as our very own Lynda Shanks. 

"The BP Challenge was a really fun and interesting day. I really enjoyed working with different people who I don't usually work with. From the BP Challenge, I learnt that no idea is too big as sometimes they are the best ideas." - Grace Jackson, Year 11
