Profitable Year 10 Trade Fair

Fifteen groups of Year 10 students setup shop in the hall this week to sell items such as buttered chicken, energy drinks, donuts, muffins, pies, and candy floss. Students planned and advertised their products, budgeted and paid for expenses and created the products all themselves.

Fraser, Matthew Mr Brooks and Michael By the end of lunchtime, crowds of people had passed through the hall purchasing almost $1500 worth of the student's products. Paying for all the expenses, and keeping all of the profits, students had a lot of interest in how their product was marketed and sold. One group was quite pleased to take home only a small profit, but a quite a large amount of confectionary.
