Year 11 Business Studies students, Brooke Towers and Alice Mathison, recently attended the awards ceremony for the Economics and Business Educators Plan Your Own Enterprise Competition in Sydney.
Business Studies teacher Celeste Grennan told The Echo, ‘The competition had two divisions – division one for individual entries, and division two for group entries’.
‘In their division, 114 plans were entered and they were one of five to be selected as finalists,’ she said.
‘Brooke and Alice had to present a pitch on their ‘Mobile Butchers’ to a panel of judges and guests in Sydney at the Chartered Accountants Australia and NZ offices.
‘The judges viewed their plan and considered their pitch and the girls were placed second in the state! This is such an amazing effort! Well done. I am super proud’, said Ms Grennan.
