LAUREN, ALIESHA & ELLEBusiness: InspireRevenue: $815Donated: $690Charity: Country Hope“The stall looked great. Our main items were the hair accessories and cards. Our Mums told us to smile and greet everyone who walked past. Most people were really impressed and wanted to chat to us. Some said they came especially to the market to find us after seeing us on the news”

“Before Club Kidpreneur my son Aaron was suffering from

severe depression and an extremely low self-esteem. The

amount of support and valuable life and business skills he learnt

through the program are immeasurable.” - Amy Willis, Parent

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“After our Market Day we reviewed what it means to be

successful in our micro-business. The children have decided it

was not just about profit. What has made it a success is how

we worked in teams, the effort and time we put in, the quality

of our work, thinking outside of the box, and how we approach

people.”

-Andrea Webb - Bassendean Primary School, VIC - Teacher

“Our students were able to take charge of their learning and

have the opportunity to further their understanding of how real

life businesses operate. It has given them the chance to start

thinking of how they might continue their own small business in

the future. The students developed their confidence and had a

sense of pride at the end of the program. It enabled our two

Year 6/7 classes to collaborate and work together, building

stronger relationships within our school community. The

students absolutely loved being part of the program and the

teachers were very happy to be able to implement such a rich

learning task.”

Jacqui Simpson - School Counsellor, The Pines School, SA
