Thames High School
Year 10 Being Enterprising
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs D. Sawyer.
Love Business? Do you want to organise a small business? If the answer is yes, then this is the course for you.
Taiohi in this class work together in groups to create a small business with the assistance of a local business mentor. They will look at what a business is, different types of businesses and why someone might go into business. They will then complete market research, using a survey, looking at potential customers, competition, the external environment and the potential product. Taiohi then look at the financial side of the business, identifying resources and costing out their products. They will then design a manufacturing plan, using the different skills of the Taiohi in their groups. Once the Taiohi have been to the market, they will then complete a financial report, including GST, net profit or loss before completing a statement of Financial Performance.
The benefits of this class not only includes a sound knowledge of how a business operates, but also involves the community in our school by way of having mentors work with the Taiohi. Both the mentors and Taiohi enjoy this contact and find it rewarding.
