Market Day 2025 was a vibrant celebration of creativity and entrepreneurship, marking the successful culmination of the $20 Boss unit. Students showcased their innovative businesses to the school community across four lunchtimes in Week 5.

The event was buzzing with energy as students offered a variety of products reflecting the teamwork, and problem-solving skills developed throughout the unit. Not only did students gain valuable experience in budgeting, marketing, and customer service, but they also built confidence and pride in their achievements. $20 BOSS was a testament to the power of hands-on learning and student-led enterprise.

The outstanding amount of $1500 was raised by the Year 10 Business and Economic students $20 BOSS Unit and will be donated to the Gold Coast RSPCA in Week 9 at the final assembly.

Special thanks to Mr Jonathan Albertini, Mr Anthony Chetter, Mrs Natalie Williams (Junior School), Ms Angelina van Heerden (Accounts), Mr Ethan Sheilds, Mr Jake Turner, the HASS Department, the Year 1-3 teachers, Facilities and Maintenance Support, to all staff who generously gave their time, and released students early from their individual subjects, and finally to the students' parents, siblings and family friends who supported their entrepreneurial endeavours.

We still have some wonderful Eco Sprouts pot plant seedlings, dreamy Meca Bar homemade soaps, and stunning King Zaks homemade bath bombs. These are priced between $2-5 dollars.
