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”

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
