Year 10 Business Start-Up Showcase | Event Summary & Photo Gallery
This morning, our Year 10 Start-Up Business classes hosted an entrepreneurial showcase event on our Tech Deck, displaying their innovative business concepts, products and services to the Canterbury Community at their presentation tables.
The 14 start-up businesses included: the Afro Hoods clothing line, Ashan Industries’ PEETA neurodiverse communicator app, Down Undies clothing, JAEL WEAR clothing, Just For You, Kindi Buds, Paws and Pages children’s books, Port-A-Line, Shine Cases, SJ Books, The Spooly Brush, Top Towels, Tuff Clothing and WRLD Clothing.
The showcase commenced with two student business presentations, then an insightful panel discussion with three successful contemporary entrepreneurs – Mr Peter Maynard from CyberMetrix, Gabriel Matt from Wilak Media and Alyssa Burns from Future Anything, who shared their expertise, good and bad experiences, journey learnings and business strategies with our entrepreneurial students.
They told our captivated school audience to understand their ‘problem solution’ clearly, to be truly passionate about their idea, to never give up on their business pursuits, and to keep researching on Google and YouTube and by chatting with suppliers – where all the answers can be found via those entrepreneurial pioneers who went before them.
Our panel added that being young was a ‘superpower’, as business people generally like to support young students who remind them of their business-oriented younger selves just starting out.
And also to treat failures as inevitable learning steps and merely lessons to absorb on the journey to eventual commercial and social success.
We wish our young entrepreneurs the best with their business pursuits.
A video covering the different Year 10 business ventures in depth will be published soon…
