The key points that we took away from this experience:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Integrating with like-minded individuals on group projects- these are crucial life-long skills that we will carry with us into team environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting a business idea from a maybe to a yes takes time, but is achievable with hard work and a growth mindset.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although it is daunting, confidence, cohesion, and courage are KEY when pitching a business idea.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, this bootcamp taught us many life skills that we will carry with us throughout our future endeavours. We are very grateful for this opportunity and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone thinking of participating in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Harriet O\u2019Connor &amp; Seana Miao<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2024 Term 3 Upcoming College Events\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-3.00.16\u202fPM.png\" data-rel=\"lightcase\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10612 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-3.00.16\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-3.00.16\u202fPM.png 620w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-3.00.16\u202fPM-320x104.png 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-3.00.16\u202fPM-463x150.png 463w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlight\" style=\"text-align: left\"><i style=\"font-size: 1.4rem\"><em>Ms Melinda Alvarez, Assistant Principal<\/em><\/i><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This article on College life meets The Archbishop&#8217;s Charter for Catholic Schools &#8211; Charter #2, #6 &amp; #8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>InnovateNow\u00a0 The InnovateNOW program, led by Columbia Business School&#8217;s Professor Daniel McQuade from July 8-12 allowed secondary students across Sydney Catholic Schools to showcase their entrepreneurial skills.
