10BST - Business Studies (Semester 2)
Aims of the Course:
This course is designed so that the knowledge and skills gained, and exposure to enterprise culture, can help shape “creative, energetic, and enterprising” young people who impact Dilworth and the world around them. The focus in the second half of the year will be on business skills and collaborative group work, which follows through an entire business project – including developing, marketing and selling a product. It culminates in the Market Day in Term four. Assessment is completed throughout the semester, by way of dragon den pitching, a business plan, and Market Day.
