Vocational Major Students Showcase Entrepreneurial Skills
25 June
Year 12 students undertaking the VCE Vocational Major (VM) Work Related Skills program showcased their creativity, teamwork and entrepreneurial skills during this term's Market Day, presenting the culmination of their Small Business Projects.
Throughout the term, students developed their business ideas from concept to creation, completing business proposals, marketing campaigns, budgeting and profit-and-loss calculations before producing and selling their final products.
The College courtyard came alive as students offered a diverse range of handmade items, baked goods, resin coasters, jewellery and other unique creations. One of the day's highlights was a raffle for a custom-built coffee table crafted from recycled car parts, demonstrating the innovation and practical skills developed throughout the project.
More than simply selling products, Market Day provided students with the opportunity to apply business concepts in a real-world setting, developing valuable skills in planning, communication, financial management and customer service.
Congratulations to our Year 12 VM students on the enthusiasm, initiative and commitment they brought to the project. We are especially proud that all profits raised will be donated to a range of charitable organisations, including FightMND, breast cancer charities and ocean conservation initiatives, reinforcing the importance of using enterprise to make a positive difference in the community.
