Our Business Studies course goes far beyond just teaching the basics of  how to run a business by providing students with invaluable insight into business environments. In Grade 10, our emerging entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. They design a realistic business plan, which allows them to tender for one of the active retail shops run on campus. This initiative is known as Dikgwebas@OWLAG. In addition, the Grade 10s are actively involved in generating a business newsletter. Similarly, the Grade 11s participate in a three-day work experience programme within various companies during school holidays. During Grades 11 and 12, students are prepared for the final external examination as well as the academic demands of higher education.
 
As in all three FET subjects, our philosophy is to teach and assess as if we were an IEB school, while preparing students for the Gauteng Department of  Education matriculation examination. We believe that this approach is the best preparation for success at school and university, as well as for students’ future careers.
