Year 12 Business Studies enjoyed a wonderful day out visiting local businesses to see them in operation and to hear wisdom from the owners about running their businesses.  We learnt a lot from Craig Evans at McDonalds about marketing from his expertise in this area.

To end our interesting day, we saw a very different business with Neville at Greenpatch Organic Seeds.  We saw a very simple, but labour-intensive way to clean cucumber seeds to package for sale.  We all enjoyed a day out learning more about businesses in the local area.
