Sports Day Cafe

1st Oct 2015- It was sports day, the annual celebration of competitiveness. We were separated into four teams, the Red Eagles, Blue Sharks, Yellow Tigers and Green Dragons. The crowd cheered as the teams faced each other in a few heated matches, which included basketball, soccer, and tug of war. Knowing that some people get to lazy to go to the canteen, the grade twelve students used this opportunity to their advantage and opened a drink stand in which all profits go to charity. As it was so hot outside, and everyone was tired after playing all the matches, the drinks ran out pretty fast. Soon the eleventh graders joined us and sold food for their CAS activity, and some other students had their own business project that involved selling goods as well. We realised that this sports day didn't just involve sports competitions, but selling competition as well. Luckily, we did manage to earn about twice as much as our capital, with some drinks left to spare. As the day ended, we celebrated by consuming all the unsold goods, and there was not one drop to waste.

Learning outcomes checklist:

3. Planned and initiated activities
We set up the stalls by ourselves and chose what product to sell in the stall.

4. Worked collaboratively with others
There were quite a lot of customers, so we had to work together to serve each and every one of them. We also took shifts when some of us were competing in the match.

5. Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities
As some of us had matches too, we were pretty tired and worn out, but that didn't stop us selling whenever we had time for it.

6. Engaged with issues of global importance 
All profits earned was donated to charity.
