General Assembly. Students are presented with<br />
their assignments in advance of conferences<br />
and then research is carried out so that they<br />
can debate with their fellow delegates, staying<br />
true to the actual position of the member<br />
country they represent. Churcher’s is hoping<br />
to host its very first MUN Conference this year<br />
and we have a highly committed team looking<br />
for new recruits to join them.<br />
Young Enterprise<br />
The Young Enterprise Scheme gives Lower<br />
<strong>Sixth</strong> students the opportunity to ‘Learn by<br />
Doing’ and run their own businesses. This<br />
requires them to set up their own companies,<br />
sell shares to investors, manage cash flow,<br />
develop, make and sell a product or service,<br />
interact with the wider community and<br />
eventually make a profit, or indeed a loss! The<br />
School is very fortunate to have experienced<br />
business Advisers who attend the weekly<br />
meetings and give guidance and invaluable<br />
advice on how to set up and run a ‘mini’<br />
enterprise. This year there were four individual<br />
companies set up by the enterprising students<br />
and they did exceptionally well. ‘Well Prepared’<br />
sold a unique brand of casual shirts known as<br />
the ‘Shlirt’ and won ‘Best Product’ at the South<br />
Hampshire Area Final held at the Ageas Bowl.<br />
‘Magnetic’ sourced a very popular water bottle<br />
that held fruit to add to the flavour and achieved<br />
excellent sales results. ‘Blu’ made their own<br />
responsibly sourced jewellery and sold this at a<br />
number of trade fairs along with their range of<br />
candles and bath salts. ‘Eclipse’ also sold candles<br />
which proved extremely popular throughout the<br />
seasonal period.<br />
Overall, these companies learned a huge amount<br />
from the experience of trading as a company. It<br />
is not easy to make a profit in any business and<br />
for Young Enterprising students who are learning<br />
the ropes the challenge of turning the business<br />
round meant having to make many decisions in a<br />
tough market place. The students can of course<br />
choose to keep the profit but full credit goes to<br />
the students who made the decision to support<br />
charitable causes.
