Young Entrepreneurs @ Scotch

During Week 4 of Summer Term Year 10 Commerce students participated in Young Entrepreneurs Week (YEW). YEW involved students collaboratively developing a service business that could realistically be launched in the Australian market in the next 12 months. They developed an idea and made a pitch to a panel of external judges for funding. The start-up businesses were varied across the service industry: Match My Catch, Ink Trucks, Meal in a Minute, Speedy Seafood, Video Valentine, Cater2Me, and Scope Photography. YEW enabled students to work collaboratively and think creatively about future business possibilities and then consider issues such as staffing, obtaining premises, business plans, salaries and wages and future profits. Scotch students were imaginative, engaged and business focused and made a huge impression on our judges.
