Term 1: Week 1

Kia Ora and a very warm welcome everyone to Business Studies! 

I am thrilled to have you all on board and look forward to working with you on all our challenges/tasks and projects.I am sure we will have a great time.

During our first week of meeting (in Week 2) we are going to get to know each other better and look at the course expectations.

Our learning outcome for this week is to be able to understand the outline for Business for this term.

Enjoy the first week back and remember to keep an open mind about new ideas (think outside the box).
