Assessment Details

Students will be assessed throughout the course through reviews of their work.  Classwork includes a mixture of elements, including research tasks, creation of online presentations, and creative activities such as posters and board games.  Later in the course, numeracy skills are required when creating costs and financial documents for their final project.

To be successful, students need to be able to:

• Understanding how the business environment is dynamic and ever-changing, therefore stay current on topical business matters
• Be creative with designs while also taking into consideration the viability of ideas
• Justify all decisions they make, using supporting evidence that is both relevant and recent
• Use a range of business terminology for the correct purpose

What can I do to support my child at home?

Share your real-world experiences in business.  Ask what topic they are studying and possibly demonstrate how you or your workplace applies it.  This will really help them to contextualise.

Encourage your budding entrepreneur to watch the news, read business blogs, find out how some of the best-known current talent started and where they are now, how did they get there?
