GROW YOUR FIVER BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
To aid our pupils in raising their entrepreneurial skills, and help keep the cost of trips down, P7 & P6/7 will be running a mini business programme term 2 & 3.
In collaboration with Virgin, each pupil will be loaned £5 from Virgin, to Grow Your Fiver. In school, pupil will be taught about starting a business, buying and selling, profit and loss and how to grow a business. Using the £5 in teams or individually, they will create a business, to raise money. We will hold a fete in January to give pupils the chance to sell their products, if needed.
As we have P6s in our P6/7 class, we do not want them to miss out. Therefore, P6/7 & P7 will be jointly running this venture. Any monies raised will:
P7s attending Edinburgh Feb 2025-be paid back to parents at end of fundraising
P7s not attending Edinburgh - pay for a treat while Edinburgh trip is on
P6s - money will go towards the communal fundraising account for next years residential trip.
The money will be pooled at the end of fundraising and split equally. Pupils must take part in the initiative to be able to be eligible to receive money back.
Please see attached flyer.
