This dynamic and eye-opening experience involved the pupils working in groups to complete a series of challenges based upon their ownership of a small business for the day.

Each 'business' was encouraged to explore its impact upon investors, employees, customers and society by working with local business volunteers.

Upon reflection of this days events, Mrs Quinn, the teacher responsible for Enterprise Education at Lisneal College, said the programme of activities had "worked to promote the thinking skills and personal capabilities that underpin the revised curriculum being taught at KS3 in Lisneal College, whilst offering Year 10 pupil's an exciting taster of GCSE Business Studies".
