Student Entrepreneurs Shine at Market Day


Over 250 business students got into the entrepreneurial spirit at our school market day last weekend! With good weather and lots of foot traffic, over 80 groups applied their business expertise in selling everything from brownies, apps, games, pasta boards, athletic gear and so much more! It was awesome to see the community rally behind our young entrepreneurs and support them every step of the way. 

While market day is certainly the highlight, students have been hard at work this term, building up to the day. They've conducted market research, identified competitors, experimented with production processes, and applied marketing and pricing strategies. A lot of work, but it was all worth it on Saturday with tons of fun, NCEA credits and profit!
