Year 12 Business Studies students have visited The Auckland Project to take part in a learning experience to explore the different job roles that exist within the Palace and surrounding museums.

Accompanied by their Teacher, Mrs McGlade, students first toured Auckland Palace, The Faith Museum and The Spanish Gallery to learn about the positions on offer at these venues. They then looked closely at existing merchandising in the gift shop before developing some of their own ideas for new products that they could sell linked to the things they had seen on the tour.

The department strives to incorporate real-world experiences wherever possible as this helps to increase understanding about the business world.
