Ayr State High School’s budding entrepreneurs had the chance to put their business skills into action last week, hosting a lively market day as part of their Year 8 Economics and Business unit.
Fifteen groups of students set up stalls across the school, selling a range of creative products while putting classroom theory into practice. The event not only showcased innovation and teamwork but also taught students valuable lessons in markups, pricing, and profit.
By the end of the day, the stalls had collectively raised just over $200. The top spot went to KJR Construction Cookies, who achieved the highest profit overall, while Cody's Chopped Chin Cookies claimed second place with another strong performance.
Teachers praised the Year 8 cohort for their creativity and determination, with all groups successfully seeing their business plans through from the classroom to the real-world challenge of selling to their peers.
The hands-on activity provided students with a fun and practical way to understand the fundamentals of running a business, from developing a product and managing costs to handling competition and marketing.
Congratulations to all students involved on a successful day of learning, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit.
