Eureka’s Business and Enterprise Project – Final Competition
Maple Primary School

Having described how successful Eureka’s Business and Enterprise trading day was in our last case study (see below), the final competition of Eureka’s Business & Enterprise project among Year 6 students @ Maple School was as impressive as the trade day.
The final competition was in the form of a presentation and took place on 23rd June 2010 @ Maple School where both Year 5 & Year 6 students took part. Eureka judges Donna, Patricia and Jana participated in this event and were impressed by the lively and professional way the presentations were delivered.


Six teams - Sweet Stuff, Nice Cream, Funky Fruit, X-Treme Style, Quake Shark and Style Sensation - presented on the stage in turns. The presentation itself demonstrated the students’ great team work skills with good delegation tasks for each presenter. Students were wearing their marketing t-shirt and sandwich board, holding their posters and advertisements on the stage. The presentations were well structured with informative content and brilliantly delivered with the use of drama, dancing and singing. Presenters smartly handled judges and audiences’ questions and showed full competence in running and managing their businesses.


The final result of each team’s business project considered the business project as a whole over the last 6 months:
• How good was the business idea
• How much money did the business make
• How well the business was executed
• What they have learnt
• How well it was presented.

Having considered all the aspects that show students’ business and enterprise skills, team work skills and presentation skills, Eureka judges awarded the Winning Team to Sweet Stuff; Nice Cream were runners up, and third place went to Style Sensation! Prizes (books) and winning certificates were awarded to the winning team and runner-up team members. Congratulations are due to all the teams who did a fantastic job! Eureka believes that Maple School Year 5 students must have learned a lot from how well their seniors have done.

The success that Maple School year 6 students achieved demonstrates how Eureka brings real commercial expertise and business experience into the class room and makes it part of young people’s learning experience. Eureka believes that the success the Year 6 students achieved through Eureka’s Business and Enterprise project will help them develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to succeed in the future.
