Yr 13 Business Studies

This course is made up of two sections: Management and Marketing.

The approach taken in these courses is one of applied learning - that is - you apply the concepts learnt in class to real life  situations - maybe where you work or the school itself.

Success obviously therefore depends on you doing what you are required to do!
