Australian Business Week
Australian Business Week is a popular program run in many schools around Australia and allows students to learn through doing. At Melrose High School, Year 10 students spend five days working in teams that run imaginary million-dollar companies.
The companies compete with each other in a simulated business environment and students perform a full range of tasks together. They make many decisions with short deadlines, design new products, create video advertisements for their products, run a trade display, write reports for their shareholders and make oral presentations.
Students learn about teamwork, deadlines, stress, decision-making, creativity, communication and a range of business issues. Australian Business Week at Melrose High School will be held in Term 4.
