Statement
My
focus is to offer a hands-on approach to becoming economically enterprising
and financially literate. Emphasis is given to the students developing
project planning based on their own inspirations; financial and
business considerations are then brought into the experience. A
key feature is the use of imagery and role-playing as learning tools.

feedback:
- I
want to thank you for the outstanding commitment you made to the
students during the recent main lesson on economics. It was a
truly outstanding demonstration of thought, practical application
and inspiring presentations, on a very high level indeed. Each
student has worked to their maximum capacity, to produce their
best work. Do keep in touch with the school.
Student
feedback:
- Over
the last 4-5 weeks my knowledge of business, finance and economy
has increased greatly. It's a subject I have never explored in
the past and I’ve found it really useful. It’s given
me inspiration and an insight into my future. This course has
inspired me to start up my own business, I highly recommend it
as a course for the first-years next year.
-
I have learned a lot over the course of this course and feel these
things will definitely help me later in life. Thanks.
-
I really enjoyed this course, it inspired me to start up my own
events co-ordination company. It was a really useful thing to
learn.
