Business Studies
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
Colin Powell
By studying Business Studies students will develop their understanding of how businesses work in an ever-changing world. The knowledge gained from their studies will enable students to contribute to the economy and society as employees, employers and consumers. In addition, learners will also gain an appreciation as to how issues outside the control of a business can affect its performance and develop their understanding that businesses must respond positively by adapting to said changes if they are to thrive. Students will develop their mathematical skills and learn to apply these to real life business scenarios. The focus of study in Years 10 and 11 is based around the four functional areas of business with the addition of units upon the real world of business and key influences on business decision making.
