On the 7th February 2012, 46 budding entrepreneurs were put through their paces during a hugely exciting day running a stationary company. The Year 6 girls took part in a Business Game organized by surrey-based charity, SATRO.
As the students' fledgling companies emerged, they produced prototypes and competed for stationary orders from the panel of buyers. Bank accounts were opened and accountants wrestled with the difficulties of cash flow, whilst sales managers were intent on winning orders and marketing managers were busy promoting their businesses. The Game threw the students some real challenges along the way, including paper shortages and one off, time limited, opportunities to make more money for their companies!
Later in the day, in a bid to win the best presentation award, the students prepared short presentations, outlining what they had learnt. Competition is always tough and the judges had a challenging job selecting the winner.
