Enterprise Studies Y10
This programme was created to introduce the real business world into our classroom. It is especially designed for teenagers, Year 10. Business Studies encourages students to be independent thinkers, use creative flair, and develop their leadership skills as well as work successfully as a team. Above all, this course allows our students to build confidence and especially encourages them to ‘have a go’. Students are introduced to basic economic concepts of scarcity, demand enterprise and basic accounting.
Business studies aims to develop enterprising individuals with a knowledge and understanding of enterprise and the essential skills needed to take an active role in their community and economy.
Students are given the opportunity to:
- develop an understanding of basic economics ideas through the study of people and their activities in small and large enterprises in their own community.
- discover that enterprise and entrepreneurship exist in many forms in their own community.
- develop initiative and recognise that the establishment and successful operation of any enterprise requires initiative and entrepreneurship.
- develop an understanding that for many, including themselves, economic well-being need not always rely on someone else being their employer.
- develop a vision within an achievement culture that turns problems into challenges.
- to demonstrate to students how values impact on all economic activity and decision making.
- develop the individual’s financial intelligence.
