This program is a student driven entrepreneurial enterprise. Pumpin’ Pizza Restaurant is open to the general public once per term. Students in the senior class are actively involved in the advertising, financial literacy, food preparation and service. This program provides opportunities for students to learn about business planning, accounting processes, market surveys, data collection, costing, food preparation, hospitality and life skills.
Delivering an entrepreneurship-focused education can help students develop crucial life skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom environment.
At Mount Molloy we also design, create, make and market products for our monthly Market Cart.
Mount Molloy offers a unique entrepreneurship education opportunity which teaches students crucial life skills, such as:
· How to collaborate and work with a team
· How to speak in public and prepare an effective presentation
· How to collect and analyze data
· How to use social media as an advocacy tool
· How to solve real, complex problems that don’t have a definitive answer
· How to use curiosity and creativity to find an innovative approach to difficult problems
Students learn to understand the product development cycle, come up with their own unique business proposals, and deliver multiple pitch presentations. This process results in an experience that serves our students long after they've left Mount Molloy State School. Students can develop their imagination and learn how to apply creative thinking skills to real-world problems.
Research states (Angela Duckworth professor of psychology) “Entrepreneurs seek to solve problems, meet needs, and ease pain points with the help of their products and services.
They are hard-wired to make a difference and make the world a better place.”
By participating in entrepreneurship programs such as ours at Mount Molloy students don’t just become ready to create their own futures — they become ready to change the world.
