Student Achievement
Small Business Stalls for a Cause
19 June
On Tuesday 11 June VCE-Vocational Major students braved the cold weather and took over the central courtyard at Damascus College, with Small Business stalls, as part of their Work-Related Skills classes on a Small Business Learning Outcome. Students had to present a ‘Shark Tank’ proposal to gain funds to start their business, and all profits made from the stalls will go to chosen charities including McGrath Foundation, Fight MND and Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Students personally made the items they were selling today, and each student took great pride in showcasing their wares that celebrated their creativity and entrepreneurship, with items including bath bombs, bracelets, stress balls, gym towels, t-shirts, strawberries and chocolate and Lego keyrings.
Students then took to the BBQ's at lunchtime, cooking and selling sausages, with all funds raised going towards the same charities. Big thanks to Sinclair Meats for donating the meat for the BBQ.
Well done to all students involved, and congratulations for raising funds for such worthy causes.
