On Saturday, 15th June, Waitākere College hosted its eagerly anticipated Market Day, an event that turned out to be a phenomenal success. The school grounds were buzzing with excitement as over 83 stalls were set up by our Year 11, 12 & 13 Business Studies students, offering a diverse range of products. Complementing the stalls were food trucks that provided delicious food and coffee.

The students were brimming with excitement, having dedicated an immense amount of effort and planning to prepare for Market Day. Their hard work paid off, as the majority of the groups managed to sell out within the first two hours of the event. In particular, one group stood out by making an impressive profit of $1100, showcasing exceptional entrepreneurial skills.

Students employed a range of sales techniques to attract customers, including persuasive pitches, engaging displays, and interactive demonstrations. Their ability to convince staff members and visitors to purchase their products was commendable and highlighted their growing confidence. The positive feedback from the community was overwhelming, with many expressing admiration for the creativity and dedication of our students.
