To encourage challenge and learning for understanding in Commerce, students in Year 10 were given the opportunity to work collaboratively as a business to design a product to sell to the greater Santa Sabina community through the Commerce Market Day. Modelled on the Cultures of Thinking Framework, (Harvard University Project Zero) students were able to engage in a real world project to apply the theory of a Business Plan. Explicit consideration was given to the four business functions of operations, human resources, finance and marketing. Through this project students were able to clearly understand business success through profit. Mrs Cummins, Ms Ma, Mrs Lombardo and Mr Crittenden must be acknowledged for their work with Commerce students throughout this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our real-life market day at school allowed us to apply creativity and fun into the learning experience for commerce. We were able to design unique products, create  marketing strategies, and engage in friendly competition with other groups. This hands-on event encouraged us to be innovative adding a sense of excitement and enjoyment to the study of Commerce.<\/p>\nMiela Ocello, Caitlin Merrick, Olivia Glass<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At market day, my group and I really enjoyed the process of making our slime products and selling them. Not only was market day a really fun experience, it also taught us a lot about how to run a business and how to use the skills we have learnt in Commerce to sell and promote our products. In addition to selling to our target market (younger students) we also were able to sell to a wider range of year groups, even teachers! Overall, we have learned a great deal from this experience and were able to apply our knowledge and skills to create a unique and innovative business. <\/p>\nMicaela Ghosen, Alexandra Algie, Ava Casonato, Gemma Touma<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Market Day was so interesting to see what groups had created. I enjoyed ‘window shopping’ and ultimately buying. There was a strong sense of purpose knowing that all proceeds are donated to Sr Shielia’s cause to help women in Africa.<\/p>\nClaire Carroll<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Santa Sabina real-life market day experience has provided students with a valuable opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to practical situations. Students have gained a wide range of skills and insights that will serve them well in future endeavors, whether in business, or other aspects of life. The Santa Sabina Commerce Market Day has made learning more engaging and enjoyable for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
