S2 Business Management Dragon's Den Final

Congratulations to Anita Kaur, Eve McGlynn and Ellis Macaulay a.k.a. The Pet People who represented my class at this years S2 Business Management Dragon's Den Final. Despite an excellent presentation for their product, Communikanine, which received rave reviews from the four Dragon's, the team were pipped into first place by Chandles, who had the excellent idea of chocolate candles which, when lit, would coat a cake with melting chocolate.
The Dragon's Den project is one of the highlights of the S2 Business Management course at St Ninian's High School. Starting in November, the pupils work in groups to come up with a product or service idea which they then have to market research, cost and promote. As well as this, they also have to look at any competition, consider what sources of finance to use and decide on the type of business organisation they want to be and why e.g. partnership, private limited company etc.

This year, we invited four "Dragons" from the local business community who had to make the final decision on who triumphed. They were all very impressed with the level of effort and commitment the three finalists had put into the project.

Congratulations to all pupils involved in the project and here is to an even more successful Dragon's Den in 2010-2011.
