Inquiry Market Day 2017

To finish our Inquiry into looking at 'How Stuff Works' we held a Market Day. We invited staff and our collab class Room 10 to spend their Banqer money and buy the products/services being sold.

Business teams were able to put their business plans into action and have a real experience of what it's like to run a business. It was a very successful day with all businesses selling out.

This week we had the majority of students have their last session in Hard Materials and a handful in Digi Tech.

We will carry on building our fitness as the term goes on and try and improve our Beep Test score at the end of the term.
