Jessica takes up scholarship

Jessica Allen from Woy Woy High School has taken up a $2000 scholarship to attend the Australian Business Week (ABW) program at the University of Sydney.

ABW was a program designed to give students the opportunity to learn and take part in the running of a mock business.

Eighty students from around NSW were selected and, during the week, sat through many lectures from successful business people.

Students were split into eight groups of 10 and had to make the best decisions in order to make the most profit possible.

Activities included a computer simulation, trade display, oral presentation, written business plan and the filming of a commercial for the product.

In addition, students participated in other activities such as army training, combat fighting, karaoke and theatre sports.
