Business Studies
Years 10 - 11
Our Vision:
In Business we aim to encourage out students to become ethical, hardworking and compelling individuals. We feel passionately that the course the students study reflects the students' diverse backgrounds, and we actively encourage them to have detailed debates and conversations about their different viewpoints. We would like our Business students to become passionate about our subject and choose to continue with it in their further study and for students to understand how the skills that they are learning with us will open doors for them in terms of careers both within and outside the area of Business. We are fortunate to come from a vibrant city and we try to include local, up-to-date and wide-ranging business examples from the city in our lessons; encouraging students to share their personal experience to provide wider world context to our lessons.
