Year 6

Year 6 Assembly Summary - Shark Tank

On Friday, April 25, the Year 6 students presented a fun and creative assembly titled “Shark Tank: The Good, The Bad & The Greedy.” Inspired by the Shark Tank TV show, students acted as young entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas to a panel of judges/shark investors.

In their performances, some students showcased innovative and responsible business ideas, while others highlighted what can go wrong when a business is poorly planned, harms the environment, or becomes too focused on profit. Each pitch taught an important lesson about building businesses that are sustainable, fair, and socially responsible.

A big congratulations to Year 6 for delivering an entertaining and meaningful assembly that reminded us all of the importance of thoughtful and responsible entrepreneurship! Stay tuned for our Business Day on June 4!

Year 6 Business Pitch

On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, the Year 6 students stepped into the shoes of young entrepreneurs! Working in groups, they created and presented their own business proposals, sharing their ideas clearly and confidently while showing how their businesses could make a positive difference for people and the planet.

Each group had a unique idea — some designed products, others offered services, and a few imagined fun experiences. Every proposal began with an important question: What do we want to do, and why? Their ideas were creative and exciting! Some students pitched a café featuring games and art corners, while others proposed selling seeds to promote home gardening. There were also pitches for pizza stalls, used clothing shops, and second-hand book stalls. Each group explained why their idea was useful, fun, and meaningful to others.

Students thoughtfully chose whether to offer a product, service, or experience based on their interests, what they believed would work well, and how they could make a difference in their school and community.

Each group also connected their business idea to one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), considering how they could support the environment, promote health, reduce waste, or improve lives. Their goal was to build a business that is good for people and the planet!

Through this project, students practiced planning, teamwork, problem-solving, and presenting. Most importantly, they learned how to turn their big dreams into real, impactful actions. Well done, Year 6!

Year 6 Field Trip to Javara

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, the Year 6 students went on a field trip to Javara, Organic Culinary, and Sustainability Workshop as part of their Unit of Inquiry, "How We Organize Ourselves," exploring the central idea: "Entrepreneurship may create possibilities for society."

At Javara, students participated in fun workshops where they learned how businesses can support communities and protect the environment. They tasted and explored how products are thoughtfully designed and made using natural ingredients and how strong values and goals guide business decisions. They learned how Javara works across the supply chain to sustain Indonesia's forgotten food biodiversity heritage by delivering it to the national and international markets.

Through partnerships with farmers, foragers, fishers, and food artisans, Javara offers a wide range of natural, organic, and artisanal food products originating from various regions of the Indonesian archipelago. All of their products are directly sourced, being origin-specific and traceable products developed hand in hand with the food producers they carry in their store. (https://javara.co.id/our-journey/)

This experience showed students firsthand how real businesses operate and how creative, sustainable ideas can make a positive difference in the world. They also learned that Javara’s efforts contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to responsible consumption, sustainable communities, and partnerships for the goals. It was a wonderful day of learning, creativity, and inspiration!

Year 6 Guest Speaker - Business Unit

​On Monday, April 28, Ibu Shweta from the Secondary School delivered an engaging presentation to Year 6 students on expenditures and budget tracking. This session was part of the Business Unit curriculum, aiming to introduce students to essential financial literacy concepts.​

During the presentation, Ibu Shweta covered key topics such as identifying different types of expenses, understanding the importance of budgeting, and tracking expenditures effectively. She emphasized practical strategies for managing finances, which are crucial skills for students as they progress in their academic and personal lives.​

To complement the session, a visual presentation was shared with the students. Reminders and connections were made to remind students about the importance of revenue, cost, and profit/loss tracking for their upcoming business initiative. 

This initiative aligns with broader educational strategies that emphasize the importance of financial literacy in enhancing the quality of learning. Effective education financing management, as discussed in various studies, highlights the role of systematic planning and stakeholder engagement in improving learning outcomes.

By introducing these concepts at the Year 6 level, the school is fostering a foundation for responsible financial behavior, preparing students for future academic endeavors and real-world financial decisions.

We look forward to seeing which businesses earn the most profit and providing a donation to a local charity.
