As part of this project, we invited Mr Pig, a Sydney Food Truck, to the College earlier in the term. The Mr Pig team gave the students an insight into the industry, why and how they started their business and the successes and challenges associated with running a food truck. The students were able to ask numerous questions that helped them to develop a concept for their own Food Truck before tasting the amazing burgers. Students were also fortunate enough to jump on board the truck to see how they prepare, cook and serve the food to their customers and explore the facilities on board.

The final component of the task required the students to pitch their business to a panel of investors. This will give the students the opportunity to persuade Ms Williams, Mrs Reader, Mrs Lennox and myself to invest in their business. They will showcase a range of public speaking skills and demonstrate the copious amounts of knowledge they will gain throughout the term.

We look forward to seeing what the students produce during this challenging task. During the term, the girls will be pushed to work outside of their normal classroom environment and they will need to rely on each other’s expertise to complete the Business Plan and pitch. I would like to commend the students on their outstanding efforts, their excellent team work skills and the enthusiasm that they have demonstrated so far.
