“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Powerful Knowledge in Business
Powerful knowledge in Business is the realisation that business is part of everybody’s everyday life as a consumer, potential employee and stakeholder of society.
It is a “real life” understanding that businesses and the economy are intrinsically linked, affecting every part of their life, both now and in their future.
Business fosters inquisitiveness; students will be encouraged to question business actions, considering the internal and external factors that influence decision-making.
Curriculum Features
We will develop minds to understand the relationships between structures, responsibilities and actions within specific areas of business organisations, including operations, marketing, finance and HR.
We analyse a wide range of businesses within the real-world, asking students to enquire about their products/services, competitive environment, finances and impact on the environment.
We encourage students to examine why some businesses are so successful, and yet others make mistakes that can lead to some businesses failing. We teach students to develop a greater understanding of the world of business and to broaden their minds about the environment of business and enterprise.
Co-curricular Enrichment
The Business department offers a range of opportunities and experiences outside of the classroom, such as:
- Visiting Speakers
- House Competitions
- Dragons’ Den
