BUSINESS EDUCATION
Business Education
provides students with a more realistic understanding of the world of
business and opportunities for practical application of information. Every
person should have some understanding of how business works, because every
person is a stakeholder, be it employer, employee, owner, customer, or
supplier.
Business education
provides students with opportunities to develop knowledge, practices and
dispositions to meet immediate personal needs, participate as a responsible
employee, and prepare to own or manage a business. Knowledge gained from
this course will assist students when undertaking senior subjects such
as Accounting, Economics, Legal Studies and Small Business Management.
Business Education is a two year course, although each year stands alone
for assessment purposes.
At the completion
of this course students should be able to;-
- Understand the
workings and environments of business.
- Buy and sell shares
on the Australian Stock Market.
- Use information
technologies and other technologies to record, report, design, and create
business information and products, and communicate relevant details
to stakeholders.
- Identify and respond
to business opportunities and challenges using entrepreneurial skills.
- Participate in
entrepreneurial activities.
- Work and communicate
effectively within a team.
