ISS hosts annual Business Enterprise Week We were very excited to hold the third annual Business Enterprise project through Years 1-10 from Monday 22nd Wednesday 24th June 2015. The purpose of the Business and Enterprise project is to develop the children’s entrepreneurial skills and financial management capabilities. The students throughout Years 1-10 were tasked with setting up their own mini businesses. The children were given the task of thinking of every detail from business ideas to the running costs. The Business Enterprise project encouraged children to use their mathematical skills and learn useful business skills. Students were given the opportunity to learn about business in a practical way and at the same time discover what it is like to start a business. Over the course of the three days, students worked effectively in teams to help market, develop a product, manage and promote their company. Students were also taught the basic concepts of finance, management and teamwork. The finale of the week was held on Wednesday afternoon where all parents and members of the community joined us to purchase the products that the students had made. There were a vast array of stalls selling anything from food and drink through to one off pieces of furniture. The Business Project was a real success with students developing their business and economic knowledge. We are already looking forward to next years Business Enterprise project and to the helping create the business entrepreneurs of the future.
