Year 8 Entrepreneurship & Project Management

Content
Entrepreneurship and Project Management is taught from Year 7 to Year 10 and aims to provide the framework for entrepreneurial skills relevant to today’s increasingly digital world. It also builds on the skills students acquire in their study of economics and business in the Australian Curriculum context. Students apply their knowledge in creative ways by working on tasks that enable illustration of critical world ready skills. This ability is recognised globally as essential to 21st century learning and citizenship.

Students work with members of the Project Management Institute to learn about frameworks used in the workforce to complete projects. They learn that project management is a life skill and it can be applied to projects outside of school such as organising a birthday party and a family holiday.

Students are also provided the opportunity to visit universities and work places to get a taste of the world of work and consider career pathways.

The framework students follow with their project work involves the following stages: initiation, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling and closing.

The entrepreneurial and project management skills learnt in this subject can be practiced and utilised every day, in every lesson, in every area inside and outside of school.
