St Thomas More High School

Real Business Challenge

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.
