S3 Business Management Enterprise Project - 2008/09

The S3 Business Management class are starting up their own business. They will be selling from the week commencing 20 April. The name of their business is LA Treats and their product is called ‘Munchy Crunchy Delight’. It is a yummy chocolate-based confectionery. All the profits will be going to their chosen charities, the Alexandra Ward in the Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary and Lockerbie Academy’s link school in Malawi. If you would like to try their Munchy Crunchy Delight then please ask your child to buy you a piece. Each slice costs a very reasonable 50p.

The business will cease trading on Friday 12 June to allow time to calculate finances and to make arrangements to deliver the profits in person to their nominated charities. It is hoped that the pupils will then create their own web page providing more information on their enterprising project including photographs, podcasts and samples of their business stationery. However, you can view the first business documents they created in class by clicking below:

The pupils have also organised a non-uniform day for Thursday 28 May. The proceeds will be donated to the same charities as above.

S2 Recipe Book

As an Enterprise Activity last session, S2 designed and compiled a Recipe Book full of their favourite recipes. Every pupil has a recipe in the book and every pupil entered a competition to design the front cover. Well done to all pupils who took part. The winners of the front cover competition are shown below:

Lewis Fisher, 2G - overall winner
Kirsty Prentice, 2D
The Recipe Book is now available from the Business Studies Department at a cost of £4 each or 3 books for £10.

Recently the Business Studies department received a letter from a satisfied customer who is delighted with the recipes she has used from the book. She also loved the idea of including all pupils. Click here to view the letter.

Calendar 2008

This year the calendar has been compiled by the S3 Business Management class. They decided to choose a mixture of paintings produced by pupils from different stages throughout the school. They also decided they wanted photographs of local monuments and places.

They have now sold all the wall calendars and have some of the small CD desk calendars still to sell. They are 2 for £5. These can be obtained directly from the school.
