Big Business Unit Presentations – We need your help!!
As part of the big business unit the children will be making presentations to a panel of ‘experts’ on Tuesday, March 22nd and Wednesday, March 23rd in school. The children will be presenting their business plans and explaining their strategies for the market day which will be held after the Easter holidays. We would like to invite any parents who feel that they would be able to spare the time, and share their expertise, to be a part of the panel. If you can attend for any of the time at all then please email Mr. Pheasant (chad.pheasant@bhs.edu.hk) with details of when you would be available and he will contact you nearer the time to confirm. The more parents we have the better!
We would like to extend our appreciation to the wonderful parent helpers, who not only accompanied the children around the streets of Sham Shui Po but also offered great advice which proved invaluable to a lot of our groups. Your support and patience, especially with the buses was greatly appreciated!
