POSTED July 17 2024 , News, Senior School
Our Year 9 students hung off every word of inspiring entrepreneur and founder of BOP Industries, Scott Millar, who headlined today’s Year 9 Young Innovators Program session.
Scott captivated the students with his inspiring story of turning a Year 9 school business project into an international education company. His story highlighted the importance of resilience, creativity and innovation.
Following Scott’s address, our students participated in a series of engaging activities that explored their entrepreneurship, understanding of the future of work and identifying future job opportunities.
