On 8th July, 55 Year 10 students from Glebelands school gained
an invaluable insight into the world of work when they took part in the SATRO
Business Game. Teams of students became stationery companies for the day
manufacturing booklets which they had to sell to a discerning panel of buyers.
The game stretched their minds and abilities in a way they never thought
possible. They had a myriad of business decisions to make as the game unfolded
and were aided in their tasks by a number of business volunteers whose job it
was to guide, support and encourage their teams as they got to grips with all
the challenges inherent in running a business.
The stress levels were high as companies competed with each other to see
who could make the most profit. Many valuable life skills were learnt.
