Rowville Secondary College Term 2 Issue 7 6 The Rowville Times Sophie D’Ambrosio Year 11 Business Management Teacher (West) Friday, May 25, 2012 Market Day and dedication and for the support of the rest of the staff and the local primary schools. WASEEM IBRAHIMI ‘Always have a PLAN B just in case something goes wrong’ The concept of Market Day has been operating at our school since 1997. Students in Year 11 Business Management classes have the opportunity to simulate the planning, running and management of a small business by involving the whole school community and beyond. Once again in 2012, given that the weather wasn’t too kind, all students managed to run a successful business with a percentage of their profits being donated to nominated charities. Personally, I would like to thank all the Business Management teachers (Michelle Aumann, Zac Phillips & Marie Lucarelli) for all their hard work Another successful Market Day gone, looking forward to next year with a new cohort of students. Well done BM classes of 2012!!!!! Students have their say....... MITCH THOMAS ‘Operating a small business takes a lot of paper work, organisation, hard work, decision-making, resilience, being persistent and so on.’ BRETT MCLAREN ‘A greater risk can lead to greater rewards but we kept it safe’ ‘You also need to find a niche in the market so that you can sell at a good rate.’ JORDAN REID ‘To have a successful business partnership there needs to be good communication’ I learnt that ‘Advertisement is King!’ MITCH NEWMAN ‘Running a business can be stressful and needs cooperation from everybody.
