business dynamics at Gairloch High School Friday the 19th of February.
Graeme Morgan of Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd. with S6 pupils from Gairloch High School.
Day two kicked off with a very informative session from Graeme Morgan of Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd. Graeme discussed why businesses must consider the impact they have on the environment. Pupils were then set the challenge of looking at how a mechanised car wash business could have an effect on the environment.
After a break for coffee and shortbread Dave Charnley came in to look with the pupils at running a successful business. Dave started this session by asking the each of the groups to describe a hero figure. Barack Obama, Sir Chris Hoy and Steve Irwin were chosen by the four groups – you can try to guess who was chosen twice! Dave has a business of his own – Artisan Interior Designs, this includes installing bathroom suites. The groups were each given a ‘blank toilet’ seat with which they had to come up with an innovative advertising presentation for a toilet seat. Along with Dave the four presentations can be seen below:
-
- ‘Dunny Comforts’
-
- ‘Lav Life’
-
- ‘Toiletseats’R'Us’
-
- ‘Tropical Toilet Seats’
-
- Dave Charnley of Artisan Interior Solutions.
After lunch the four teams became two and were given the task of producing a business plan for a bike hire company in the Gairloch, ‘Sheet 19 area’. Each new team had to decide on a who was taking up the posts of : production; human resources; finance, marketing and of course … management.
Keep an eye out, you might see this company for real one day!
Well done to the sixth year pupils who participated in this year’s business dynamics event. Many thanks to all of the session leaders who contributed and a very big thanks to Sheena Matheson of business dynamics for putting together another superb two days for us at Gairloch High School.
