We are a newly formed club, made up of Year 7, 8 and 9 students. We are looking to see other great ideas from different schools that might help to inspire us into creating a sustainable project for our school or community. Although in our infancy, we have some great ideas we would like to share with other schools to see what they think! Current ideas revolve around healthy eating, the environment and some of your more basic ideas to raise some funds, such as a cinema club.

We are a group of 10 students based in the special school at the Education Village. We really engage with enterprise and recent projects include some hanging baskets that we designed, made and sold to clients. Through a variety of enterprising projects, we hope to raise money for our Year 11 prom before we leave school.

Our school, Carnwadric Primary School, is currently setting up an eTwinning partnership with Boleslaw Chrobry, a primary school in Poland. We are planning to do a “Travelling Bear” project, where a Polish teddy bear is sent to us and a Scottish bear is sent over to them. We will take the Polish bear all around Glasgow, photographing him at all the main landmarks, and the children from Boleslaw Chrobry will do the same for our bear.

We have girls making jewellery and “The Interact Club” who fundraise for charity. We want to start up a business club because we are ready to Make OUR Mark!

We have 2 clubs and one new one starting up. We participated in the Alnwick Gardens Enterprise Day and the John Muir Award Environmental Challenge. We also fundraise for anti-bullying and Children in Need.

We are overflowing with enterprise! Our year 8 Enterprise Club set up in 2005 to sponsor a child in Pakistan through Action Aid. This has grown and grown, we even had a rolling auction of Wembley Stadium Memorabilia, donated by Wembley National Stadium Ltd. to support our cause! Year 12 took year 7 to LaserQuest in Hemel Hempstead as part of an enterprise acitivity. Yr12 students also set up a company called ICE (Identity Card Enterprise), with HSBC Young Enterprise scheme’s guidance. Identity Card Enterprise designed, produced and sold travel card holders in school, trade fairs and even a stall in Uxbridge town centre! The student led production “Best of Musicals” raised over £2000 for Multiple Sclerosis Society and sales of DVD raised over £250!!

Year 10 is running a Charity Event as an enterprise! During National Enterprise Week, we had a Healthy House Challenge. We had to create and market 4 different healthy foods to see which one was most successful.
