If you are looking for a special hand-crafted gift, do we have a deal for you!
Our Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) student businesses are up and running – with a range of beautiful gifts for purchase.
YES is a programme operated for all Year 13 Business Studies students in 2021 which aims to inspire young people to discover their potential in business and in life.
This programme sits alongside two internal standards offered (Marketing Plan and Business Activity) which represents 15 NCEA Level 3 credits.
The groups are required to follow sustainable practices aligned with Kaitiakitanga which protects the current resources for future generations.
They have been busy planning the marketing, sales, production, human resources, operations and finance areas of their business and attending various market days at venues outside of school. They have also attended a competition at AUT where they presented a sales pitch to judges (similar to Dragon’s Den). Each group has a business mentor from the local community to provide guidance and support throughout the programme.
The groups can be commended on their performance for the YES Challenges (including sales pitch) undertaken and for the progress they have made so far selling their products over the last two months.
The 15 groups involved in this programme have developed a range of amazing products as can be seen on our website:

From there, you can visit their websites or social media platforms and support their business ventures.
