On Tuesday of this week 150 year 9 boys took part in the Real Business Challenge. 

The RBC is designed to help students develop and demonstrate enterprise skills, and in particular to develop teamwork, problem-solving, creative thinking, leadership, financial capability, and business acumen. 

They had to work in teams to develop a healthy fruit juice drink and the standard was extremely high.

I had some sixth form mentors that helped out on the day including:

• Fran Keogh
• Anthony NG
• Kayleigh Rayson
• Bea Stone
• Harvey Green
• Tim CHurcher
• Carl Renner
• Emma Thamba
• Blane Pearson
• Elise Prosser
• Kieran Laking-Morris

Their help was invaluable and made the day a success.

 The winning team developed an exciting mango and pineapple drink called FruitBlast and will go forward to represent the school in the regional heats.

The team consisted of:

• Lewis Dye
• Matthew McCorley
• Ryan Hayes
• Bilal Hussain
• Jake White
• Rosh John
• Ruben Curtis

We keep our fingers crossed that they are successful in getting to the regional finals.  Good luck and congratulations.
