Market Day (S2)

Teachers are currently making changes to courses for 2025. Students will be able to select their courses soon.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Robertson.

Market Day is an authentic project-based learning experience which enables students to work in groups to design, produce and sell a product or service of their choice at a one-off market day. With a focus on student-centred learning, Market Day provides students with the freedom to make their own decisions, problem solve, meet deadlines, prepare a mini business plan, relate to others and engage with their local community.

Through Market Day, students will

  • Learn how to think creatively to add value to product
  • Work in teams to create and sell a product
  • Develop their entrepreneurial mindset

Each term culminates in an exciting school-wide market day event, where students will showcase and sell their own products. This practical approach reinforces theoretical knowledge and equips students with real-world entrepreneurial skills, including financial literacy, customer service, and sales tactics. By the end of the course, students will have gained invaluable experience in creating, marketing, and selling a product from start to finish.
