Runshaw Enterprise Day
Monday December 14th 2009
Runshaw Enterprise Day was on the 18th of November and eight Business students from Year 10 at Albany went. Unfortunately, all the other pupils from the other schools were year eleven pupils, which meant that we were a bit behind knowledge wise. The people that went were Rakib (myself), Daniel Bolton, Daniel Henshall, Tom Curwood, Ryan Miller, Rebecca Durnan, Samantha Hutchinson and David Hazari.
We started off by looking at business ethics and what we would do in given situations. The situations were: a can opener that could be adapted to break into vending machines and advertising chocolate bars to children. There were multiple choices, such as whether to keep the tin opener on the shelves and whether or not to advertise chocolate in schools. One person from each group then presented the ideas to all the others.
Then, it was making business decisions and calculating profit and loss, as well as doing sales ledgers. In this we had to brand a chocolate bar and a healthy snack bar. For each we would decide how much to spend on advertising and come up with an advertising campaign. A prize was given to the best group, but unfortunately it wasnt any of the Albany students who won.
At lunch, we sat and together and enjoyed huge plates of chips! Overall, it was a fun day for us all and we hope to be using the skills we acquired in our Business Studies lessons.
