Course Outline

Commerce is the use and exploration of accounting, economic, and business concepts and models to make sense of society and solve problems. Students will build the knowledge, skills, and values needed to navigate and participate in the economic world. They will learn how participants make decisions and analyse how these impact sustainability. Students will learn that scarcity necessitates decision-making and that cultural perspectives and lenses inform decisions.

The focus on student-centred learning is evident as students take an active role in their learning, participate in two field trips, work in teams to design and market a product/service, learn about local, sustainable businesses, including future-proofing strategies, and also work independently on a project of their choosing.
