This year, Loyola College introduced a new and exciting initiative as part of the Year 11 Business Management program: The Year 11 Business Show Day. The program tasked students with stepping into the shoes of an entrepreneur, giving them the opportunity to create, manage, and run their own small business. The initiative, designed to provide students with hands-on experience, proved to be an overwhelming success.

Throughout the project, students proposed creative business ideas, developed business plans, and launched products that were made available for purchase by the school community. The atmosphere on the day was one of excitement and engagement, with the broader student body eager to support their peers by purchasing items. The array of products on display reflected the innovation and resourcefulness of the students, ranging from homemade crafts to unique acquired goods.

The initiative not only allowed students to apply theoretical business knowledge to real-world scenarios but also fostered critical skills such as teamwork, communication, financial proficiency and problem-solving. The entrepreneurial spirit was evident as each group worked collaboratively to promote, market, and sell their products, overcoming challenges with determination.

Loyola College is proud of the achievements of all the Year 11 Business Management students, and we look forward to seeing this initiative continue to flourish in the coming years. The Year 11 Business Show has undoubtedly set a high standard for future aspiring entrepreneurs at the college.
