On the 7th February 2012, 46 budding entrepreneurs at North London Collegiate were put through their paces during a hugely exciting day running a stationery company.
As the students' fledgling companies emerged, they produced prototypes and competed for stationery orders from the panel of buyers. Bank accounts were opened and accountants wrestled with the difficulties of cash flow, whilst sales managers were intent on winning orders and marketing managers were busy promoting their businesses. The Game threw the students some real challenges along the way, including paper shortages and one off, time limited, opportunities to make more money for their companies!
Later in the day, in a bid to win the best presentation award, the students prepared short presentations, outlining what they had learnt. Competition is always tough and the judges had a challenging job selecting the winner.
North London Collegiate Junior School Head, Mrs Jo Newman said, “I loved the atmosphere. The entire room was buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to see the diversity of talent that the game brought out. You could almost see the girls growing in confidence by the moment. It was a highly successful day and we couldn’t have done it without our team of volunteers. Eat your heart out Alan Sugar!”
