Enterprise Term Summary

Hi Everyone,

This semester we have learnt a lot in Enterprise. We have been busy with our Mother's Day Stalls, Mobile Phones Assignment and a Moving Out of Home task.

Mother's Day:

This term year 9 enterprise did the mother's day stalls. This involved picking our products, packaging them, making a business name, slogan and logo, making signs and selling the goods on the day. It was a really fun activity and was not assessed. Every team made more money than we spent too, which was good. Overall, it was a really exciting activity that everyone enjoyed. We learnt so much about what it's really like to run a business.

Mobile Phones Assignment:

This term our assignment was to write a report about which mobile phone, plan and contract we would best recommend for a business. This task was educational and challenging. We had to collect information and conduct comparisons, both positive and negative between the two phones. We scaffolded a report which compared the two phones and gave a final recommendation. We discusses what the business would use the phones for and what features would enable work life to be quick and efficient. Overall, this task enabled a further understanding about businesses, mobile phones and collecting and comparing information.

Moving Out of Home:

We had to move out of home for a fun in-class activity. This involved finding a house to live in, planning transport to and from work, planning meals for one week and shopping for the food and things that we needed. We then had to make a budget, and ensure that we didn’t spend more than we earnt. We did this all in partners. Each person earnt $1050 a week and my partner and I, after budgeting everything that we spent, still had $100 leftover. It was a really fun activity that everyone enjoyed.

This term has been fun and very eventful. Enterprise is a great subject which enhances learning and deepens understanding. I would strongly recommend this subject I you like this type of thing. I hope this may help with subject selection in the future :)
