Saturday, 29th July 2023, had witnessed another one of St George’s School's successful events this year which was the SGS Entrepreneur Day 2023 also known as Ent-Fair.
This event was initiated by Head of Secondary, Mr Aywen Chak, and fully organised by the members of the Humanities Department. The event was open to all upper secondary students from Year 9 to Year 11 with the purpose of giving the students the opportunity to learn basic business knowledge, and that they might experience by themselves how to run a small business.
The response from the upper secondary students was overwhelming and unexpected. Nineteen booths were registered and they offered varieties of foods, beverages, confectionaries, girls' accessories, educational games, and others. Prior to the event, each group had promoted their stalls through social media like Instagram and Tik Tok, and students also printed posters and flyers which were given out to potential customers. All booths were operated solely by the students.
Supported by unexpected crowds of the day by parents, ex-students, students from other schools, and friends, this event was seen as successful where a few of the stalls managed to earn cash sales amounting to more than $500!
Congratulations to all students who were involved, and appreciation to Mr Aywen Chak and the members of Humanities Department.
