The HSIE Department is very proud to launch a new and exciting co-curricular ‘Santa Style’. This social enterprise from the HSIE Innovation and Entrepreneurship Association aims to provide students with authentic learning through experiential learning, working creatively and collaboratively in a real-life digital start-up. A huge thank you to Mrs Vikki Cummins for developing and facilitating this authentic learning experience for HSIE students.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa Style<\/em><\/strong> is the new social enterprise created by the Santa Sabina Innovation and Entrepreneurship Association. At Santa we cannot just be bystanders when it comes to our environment.  Once students heard the shocking statistic that Australia represents the world’s second largest pollutant when it comes to fashion pollution they wanted to do something to make a change. Santa Style<\/em><\/strong> was born as a way for Santa students to start a business from scratch by applying what they learn in the classroom to real life. There are 5 divisions in the business and students work towards key goals in Finance, Operations, Technology, Human Resources and Marketing. Students are in the driver’s seat of their learning, and they are using problem solving skills to make decisions for this business. Marketing created the business name, set up an instagram page @santastyle <\/strong>(photos of Instagram page are below). Operations have started processing donated clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fantastic experience as students are in the driver’s seat of our learning and are making the day-to-day decisions for this business. The girls in Marketing created the business name, set up an instagram page @santastyle. Our Operations team has started processing donated clothes. Those in the Technology team are learning new skills by building a wire frame for our online ordering system. Most of all, as students, we have gained a rich understanding of how a business works, everything from employee motivation, marketing strategies and how the business functions are dependent on each other every step of the way. We are learning in a way that makes sense, is fun, engaging and motivating.<\/p>

The business is currently in phase two, where we are now promoting the business and requesting all students donate good quality pre-loved clothes to be part of the change for stylishly shaking the world!<\/p>Lydia Kelly, Year 12 Business Management <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
