Business Studies Market Day

On Tuesday 29 August the Year 11 Business Studies class put their theory into practice and held a Market Day, selling their cleverly marketed goods to fellow students. The idea behind the Market Day was to give students a taste of the business world and discover the secrets to creating a successful business. Stalls included fresh doughnuts, sushi, ice creams and pizzas! The event was a huge success and the students involved should be very proud of their efforts.
