Focus on Business

 

Through the course of this year, your class will be looking to market and sell mugs with a Johnstone High Computing and Business Studies themed design. The aim is, as in any business, to sell as many as possible to maximise profit.

Each class will work as a team in competition with other S1 classes to startup and run a business.

Any profit made will go to a charity chosen by your class.
