The Year 10 Economics and Business students recently had an incredible opportunity to visit the University of Queensland, where they engaged with the amazing UQ Ventures. During their visit, our students were inspired by the stories of entrepreneurs who are currently studying a diverse range of programs. These entrepreneurs shared their unique experiences from around the globe, including places like Singapore and San Francisco. It was truly eye-opening for our students to hear about these international perspectives.

The Ventures Discovery Team didn't stop there. They facilitated a highly engaging workshop where our students employed innovative design thinking techniques. Working in groups, they tackled the challenge of creating solutions to youth unemployment in the Redlands. It was amazing to see their creativity and problem-solving skills in action.

To top it all off, our students had the chance to pitch their designs to the larger group. This experience took them out of their comfort zones and provided them with valuable mentoring and coaching from experienced entrepreneurs. It was an enriching and memorable day for everyone involved.
