Agatha, Ellyn and Sienna from Crumb Craft receiving the award for Best Branding with their custom cookies from Mayor Jon Raven.

This morning, our select group of entrepreneurially-minded Canterbury students were involved in the Breakfast Showcase Finale, for their eight-week Young Business Leaders Program  hosted at Canterbury College.

This Breakfast Showcase provided an opportunity for our young business students to advertise and pitch their products, services and ideas to the wider Logan community, parents, carers and other schools’ business students.

After a light breakfast, Maddie Panther from BOP Industries – the agency which oversaw the overall program, announced the category winners judged from the showcase stalls.

So we are excited to announce that Canterbury College received five awards!

Congratulations to the following Canterbury students:

Elly Barnes, Sienna Neilan and Agatha Johnson from Crumb Craft received the award for Best Branding with their custom cookies.

Best Showcase Display was awarded to Brody Huckin from Poppin Bro, with an outstanding display full of life, colour and of course, Popcorn!
