Girls Rulz...

One of the girls in my class wrote that on her group's working plan. And I have to say that I must agree.
Working with the girls of St Anthony's Canossian Secondary School was a new experience and a definite blast.
The girls were able to express their interests, individuality and passion through their business plans in the E³ Progamme.
Some of the ideas that they came up with were really impressive and they really have some very good marketing skills!
A picture speaks a thousand words so here's a few to prove my point.

The girls assess various creative opportunities that they have thought up.

Time for some games! And teachers get to play too!




'I think she should do it!' The girls learn to co-operate 'arrow' one another.


One of the 2 winning teams in the competition, theWHATmag team.

Another team presents their business plan in a mini-competition between the two classes.

I personally feel that it's great that the girls have strong support from the school to act on and follow up from their business ideas from the workshop. I look forward to seeing these plans put in action next year!

All the best girls!

How to Raise Funds for Next Year

The recent training that I had with Temasek Secondary School's I&E Club reinforces the belief that good ideas, good BUSINESS ideas can come from anyone.

Case in point, the students from the club went through a round of InnoWorks™ to generate a fresh arsenal of fund raising ideas for the club.

Their best idea? I won't tell you but I'll give you a hint: similar to the idea of this RJC (or is it former RJC?) student's business idea.

Here're some snaps.

I look forward to see their ideas bear fruit next year :)
