COULD YOU BE THE ONE TO OFFER SUCCESSFUL YEAR 9 STUDENTS AN AUTHENTIC, DEVELOPMENTAL, ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PRIZE? THE ENGLISH, COMPUTING AND BUSINESS DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH THE HEAD OF YEAR 9, ARE ORGANISING AN EXCITING 'DRAGONS' DEN' STYLE EVENT FOR YEAR 9 STUDENTS ON FRIDAY 13TH AND MONDAY 16TH JUNE: OURS IS NAMED 'TBS TYCOONS'. YEAR 9 STUDENTS WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO CREATE A SALES PITCH, WHICH, IF THEY REACH THE FINAL, THEY WILL PRESENT TO A PANEL OF EXTERNAL BUSINESS EXPERTS. THIS EVENT WILL HELP STUDENTS ENHANCE THEIR TEAMWORK, FOCUS, AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS WHILE PROVIDING A VALUABLE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE THEIR CREATIVE IDEAS IN A PROFESSIONAL SETTING. THIS IS A COMPETITION AND THE STUDENTS THAT DELIVER THE BEST SALES PITCH WILL BE CONGRATULATED ACCORDINGLY. WE REALLY WANT TO OFFER STUDENTS 'EXPERIENTIAL' PRIZES WHICH WILL DEVELOP THEIR SKILLSET EVEN FURTHER. LAST ACADEMIC YEAR, ONE KIND PARENT CAME INTO SCHOOL TO WORK WITH THE WINNERS ON WRITING CREDIBLE BUSINESS PLANS. COULD YOU OFFER YOUR TIME, EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE TO WORK WITH A GROUP OF ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS AND HELP TO BUILD THEIR FUTURE? WE WANT THE PRIZES TO BE PART OF A 'BUSINESS BOOTCAMP' EARLY NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR. IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO OFFER AN EXPERIENTIAL PRIZE, COULD YOU OFFER YOUR TIME INSTEAD? WE NEED PARENTAL JUDGES WITH EXPERIENCE IN BUSINESS TO ADD TO OUR KNOWLEDGEABLE JUDGING PANEL. AS A JUDGE, YOU WOULD NEED TO BE AVAILABLE ON THE 16TH JUNE 13:30-15:30 (ARRIVING ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE TO GET SET UP ETC). SIMILARLY, WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BUILD ON OUR RESOURCES FROM LAST ACADEMIC YEAR BY ADDING IN EDUCATIONAL ONLINE TUTORIALS FROM EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELD. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN BRINGING A NEW PRODUCT TO MARKET, COULD YOU CREATE A SHORT VIDEO OUTLINING THE PROCESS FOR OUR BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS TO WATCH AND LEARN FROM? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. IF YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU COULD OFFER A PRIZE, YOUR TIME OR YOUR EXPERTISE THEN PLEASE EMAIL CAROLINE.TIGHE@THEBRITISHSCHOOL.PL.
