Eagle’s Nest learners turn business ideas into profits
Eagle's Nest Gr 7 learners showcase entrepreneurial skills, developing business plans, managing budgets and marketing products.
POLOKWANE – Last Friday, Eagle’s Nest Christian School hosted its highly anticipated Gr 7 entrepreneurship day.
Learners showcased a variety of products they crafted at home or purchased, selling them to make a profit at school.
Bertie de Lange, the principal of the primary school, said this special event is a key component of the economic and management sciences curriculum and aims to impart valuable lessons on responsibility, stewardship and the basics of entrepreneurship.
The day was a vibrant display of the learners’ creativity and innovation, as each Gr 7 learner embraced the role of a young entrepreneur, gaining insight into the business sector.
“From crafting business plans to managing budgets and marketing their products, these events allow learners to develop remarkable skills and a deep understanding of what it takes to run a successful business. This hands-on experience highlights the joys and challenges of entrepreneurship and highlights the importance of wise resource management,” De Lange explained.
“We are incredibly proud of our Gr 7 learners for their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm. This experience will serve as a valuable stepping stone as they continue to learn about effective resource management. A heartfelt thank you to the teachers, parents, and community members who supported this event and contributed to its success. We look forward to watching these budding entrepreneurs thrive in the future.”
