Enterprise Day at Pipers Corner

April 30th 2013

Students from both Pipers Corner and Thorpe House had the opportunity to compete against each other in an Enterprise Day held at Pipers Corner School on Monday 29 April. Students from Years 7 – 11 were divided into mixed teams to challenge each other in two tasks. The first was an exercise in team building where they had to share ideas and cooperate to build the tallest tower they could using nothing but newspaper.

The second activity saw each team given a market segment and the brief to think of an idea, design a prototype, create a marketing campaign and then present their idea to the group, focusing on product, price, place and promotion.

The competition was evident as all the teams got to work and following all of the presentations and a short question session from the judges it was announced that first place was a joint award to “Jamaviel” (Jamie F, Max M, Ella H and Vicky H) and “TP Toys” (Elanor V, Poppy N, Joel T, Tom B and Anna M) with “No Home” as runner up.

All of the winning students received gift vouchers and both schools felt the day had been a huge success with particular emphasis on the range of age groups working so well together.
