Our Mums told us to smile and greet everyone who walked past. Most people were really impressed and wanted to chat to us. Some said they came especially to the market to find us after seeing us on the news”

LUKE & BAILEY Business: SPRAY’D Revenue: $972 Donated: $287 Charity: Defy Dyslexia “Business is hard work but having dyslexia is hard work as well so we are used to it. We learned to ask each other and our families for help when we weren't sure of what to do. It was a team effort” says Luke.

“Before Club Kidpreneur my son Aaron was suffering from severe depression and an extremely low self-esteem. The amount of support and valuable life and business skills he learnt through the program are immeasurable.” - Amy Willis, Parent WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING “After our Market Day we reviewed what it means to be successful in our micro-business. The children have decided it was not just about profit. What has made it a success is how we worked in teams, the effort and time we put in, the quality of our work, thinking outside of the box, and how we approach people.” -Andrea Webb - Bassendean Primary School, VIC - Teacher

“Our students were able to take charge of their learning and have the opportunity to further their understanding of how real life businesses operate. It has given them the chance to start thinking of how they might continue their own small business in the future. The students developed their confidence and had a sense of pride at the end of the program. It enabled our two Year 6/7 classes to collaborate and work together, building stronger relationships within our school community. The students absolutely loved being part of the program and the teachers were very happy to be able to implement such a rich learning task.” Jacqui Simpson - School Counsellor, The Pines School, SA WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
