Elevate – Showcasing Young Entrepreneurs of the Future

Featuring: Orson Palmer, Imogen Hayles, Amelia Kachur, Eloise Tranter and Penelope Bowes

In Semester 1, Orson, Imogen, Amelia, Eloise and Penelope participated in Enterprise, one of the Virtual Academy’s most dynamic programs, which develops future-focused entrepreneurial skills.

Over the semester, these students designed innovative business proposals that demonstrated critical thinking, creativity, and an understanding of financial planning, social responsibility, and digital literacy.

In Term 2 Week 10, their hard work was showcased at Elevate, a virtual event where students pitched their business proposals to an audience of peers, educators, and families. Each student thoughtfully articulated their business concepts, explaining how they identified problems, developed solutions, and designed sustainable models.

The event celebrated not only the culmination of their learning but also the resilience and adaptability needed to be future-ready problem-solvers. Orson, Imogen, Amelia, Eloise and Penelope should be incredibly proud of the leadership and innovation they demonstrated throughout their projects.
