Young Business Leaders 8-Week Program Finale | Breakfast Showcase & Five Winners
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!
Isabella Clout from Taybella Crafters, won the award for Most Innovative Idea with her specialised, handcrafted designs and wireless chargers.
Lucas King from Luxe LK was awarded Most Viable Business Idea with his unique take on perfume distribution for all.
Rylan Mead from Urban Threads was voted the People’s Choice award with his streetwear clothing business.
It was a fantastic morning celebrating the efforts and achievements of our Young Business Leaders, who have worked extremely hard on their commercial creations throughout Term 2.
The Young Business Leaders Program is organised by BOP Industries with the support of event partner the Beenleigh Yatala Junior Chamber of Commerce, and event sponsors Bendigo Bank, Quota Beenleigh Inc, Rotary Club of Beenleigh, Logan City Council, Logan Office of Economic Development and Logan Mayor Jon Raven.
