Our brilliant Year 6 learners took on the ultimate challenge in one of their final projects in Entrepreneurship — launching their very own businesses from scratch! From branding to product development, they poured their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit into every detail.

As part of their ‘Graduation Market’, learners set up stalls selling everything from homemade muffins and smoothies to handcrafted jewelry — all while keeping their target audience in mind. It was more than just a market; it was a powerful showcase of collaboration, innovation, and purpose.

We couldn’t be prouder of how their amazing progress. Here’s to our young entrepreneurs and future leaders! 🌟🎓

In this clip from Episode 7 of DisruptEd, Rana Akkad, founder of Jad’s Inclusion, challenges the idea that simply placing a child with special needs in a mainstream classroom is enough. She shares a powerful truth: “Sometimes it’s just the most expensive lunchbox.”

True inclusion isn’t about being present in a classroom. It’s about having an Individualised Education Plan (IEP), mentkrs who are trained to meet a child’s unique needs, and creating an environment where participation is meaningful — even if it’s just for a few hours a day.
