Monday 17th November 2008 Global Enterprise Week

21 Year 9 Students took part in the national ‘Make YOUR Mark Challenge’.  The challenge was to ‘Create an entrepreneurial idea inspired by the Olympic & Paralympics Values’.

There are seven Olympic & Paralympic Values. The challenge was to create an entrepreneurial idea inspired by these Values. The idea could be a product to sell, a service to provide or perhaps a space or a place which makes money. They could choose one or more of the values.

The Olympic & Paralympic Values:

Respect, Excellence, Friendship, Courage, Determination, Equality, Inspiration.
