We have two businesses doing well in the Young
Enterprise Scheme (YES) with innovative products in food and fashion.
Pure Blendz has developed a natural way of infusing coffee
with coconut. Pure Blendz took its first batch to the recent Pasefika Business
Expo at the Vodafone Events Centre and sold out. The group gained $425 in
seed funding through YES, and the judges were impressed with the strength of
their business plan.
LJ's Clothing has a concept for upcycling T Shirts
with a tie-dyed process, which is one of the worlds hottest fashion trends for
2017. Shoppers at the Pasefika Business Expo snapped up the first release. This
group also gained excellent seed funding of $275.
Our school has a great track record of success in YES.
Students enjoy the practical learning it provides, developing both creativity
and business skills.
Place your orders and follow their successes via their Facebook pages!
