Year 9 Business Enterprise Market Day
Market Day is a unique hands-on experience that teaches students essential business and life skills.
The Year 9’s embraced the opportunity to launch their own mini businesses, applying skills in marketing, budgeting, teamwork, and customer service. Students created their own products, planning, problem-solving, developing sales strategies, and managing transactions, learning firsthand what it takes to run a business.
Market Day fostered collaboration, as team members relied on each other to provide excellent service and make decisions on the spot. Planning the day, setting up early, and managing stock throughout the event taught students valuable time management skills. The event was lively, with enthusiastic participation and various creative stalls. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that sparked entrepreneurial spirit and taught valuable lessons in business management and responsibility.
The Market Day offers students a chance to practice real-world skills that go beyond the classroom. From customer service to teamwork and using their financial literacy skills, these lessons lay the foundation for future business ventures and personal growth.
