YES!

The OBHS Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is up and running for 2024.

On Wednesday, 28 February 2024 the Year 13 Business Studies students activated their participation in the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme for 2024. 

The basic premise of YES is for students to create and run their own businesses – they must create, produce and sell a product or services during the course of the year. 

This year OBHS hosted OGHS in the Maurice Joel Auditorium for the official launch of the nationwide school competition. The idea of the Timatanga/Kick Start Day was for Business South in conjunction with YES HQ to pitch the competition to this year’s students.

2024 will see OBHS enter at least a dozen teams in the nationwide competition. Teams will compete for spot-prizes throughout the year as well as Regional and National Excellence Awards. The value added of the day for the students involved was they were able to validate their current business ideas with members of the local Dunedin Start-Up community.

If you would like to be involved with supporting the boys involved in this year’s competition in a mentoring capacity please contact Mr Gwyn Pratley OBHS TiC Economics on his school email address [email protected]
