| For
the last few years, Barnardos
have been running a scheme in
schools to raise funds for the
excellent work that they do. Each
participating school attends on
open day and receives a cheque
for one hundred and twenty pounds
to set up a business. A group of
pupils from each school runs the
business, with each pupil having
a specific role such as
advertising, finance and
marketing. |
Our group
this year worked well and
organised a lot of activities
which included:
Shopping
trip to the Trafford Centre in
Manchester
Catering for cross country race
Home made cakes
School disco
Daily tuck shop
Weekend trip to Tan Y Graig
|
 |
| Unfortunately
the trip to Tan Y Graig had to be
cancelled due to the foot and
mouth outbreak but it was still a
good idea as it showed that
sometimes things don't always go
to plan! Overall the group made a
profit of eight hundred and fifty
five pounds, of which the pupils
get to keep twenty five percent
to spend on something that
benefits the Business Studies
Department. I would
especially like to thank Katie
Sweeney and Rebecca Swetnam for
their outstanding efforts towards
the business setup. They both
showed an acute awareness of what
was needed together with on
uncanny knock for making money,
not to mention their sheer hard
hard work and commitment. Well
done ladies!
