Launching our Entrepreneurs’ Fair
The Young Entrepreneurs’ Fair provided an exciting opportunity for students to flex their entrepreneurial muscles and learn valuable life lessons, on 11 February 2023.
From Idea to Reality: A launchpad for Young Entrepreneurs
Creative young leaders were given complete freedom and to choose their products and services to sell, and the full responsibility in handling their sale on the day. Secondary students had to submit a business proposal before working on their products, merging classroom knowledge with practical skills.
With the school’s support, students received a “bank loan” to start their businesses. They were expected to repay the loan and share their profits, teaching them about financial responsibility and management as they exercised their creativity.
Achieving Success: Recognition and Rewards
Each year group had different products on sale, ranging from handmade keychains, magnets, bead bracelets, bookmarks, to scented candles, recyclable flowerpots, origami bouquets for snack packs.
Students were assessed based not only on sales but also on categories such as teamwork, creativity, and the best-written business plan (for secondary students). The fair encouraged a well-rounded approach to entrepreneurship, pushing students to innovate, collaborate and communicate effectively.
Here’s a shoutout to the winning year groups for their exceptional entrepreneurial spirit:
Category | Primary | Secondary |
Most Profit | Year 5 – BEad Positive | Year 11I – Cooperation |
