2025 Year 9 Start Up Industry Professional Feedback Session
Recently our Year 9 Start Up students demonstrated their creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial skills at their Industry Professional Feedback Session.
The event gave students a platform to showcase their ventures, connect with industry experts and community members, and receive valuable feedback to guide their next steps. Students also gained meaningful insights during the panel session with our panel of industry professionals, who shared their experiences and advice on launching successful ideas.
We extend our sincere thanks to our guest panel members:
- Michelle Martin | LinkedIn, Small Business Adviser, Logan City Council
- Jarred Turner | LinkedIn, Program Manager, Future Anything
- Michael Cross | LinkedIn, Canterbury alumnus and CEO and Co-Founder of LiveQ
Congratulations to our student emcees Jiya Arun and Daniel Riordan, and to our student panel chairs Sehajreet Sidhu and Lennox Corlett, for their confident and engaging leadership throughout the event.
The Start Up curriculum provides students with practical experience in entrepreneurship and enterprise, helping them develop essential business skills, collaborate effectively, and turn creative ideas into tangible outcomes. Many students are now working with manufacturers to refine their prototypes and bring their products closer to market.
We thank our industry professionals and community guests for their generous support and encouragement of our young innovators.
