THE WEDDING COMPETITION
Year 10 students from Plashet School participated in a new enterprise competition, organised by Newham Education Business Partnership, called ‘The Wedding’ and become wedding planners for the day.
To enter the competition each group of students had to allocate different roles to members of the team. Each team had to consist of a Team Leader, a Finance Manager, a Creative Manager and an Event Organiser. The team also had to justify the allocation of roles i.e. how each student met the requirements of their given role.
Armed with a brief, budget, guest list, resources and deadline, the teams presented their business plan, creations and proposals to a panel of judges.
The teams, with their own unique names from ‘The Wedding Crashers’ to ‘Desi Mix’, had to make choices in wedding dresses, catering companies, venues, decorations.. all the glitz and glamour which make up a perfect 21st century wedding!
The designs and style of the weddings the teams came up with ranged from flamboyant, gold-encrusted traditional Asian weddings to modern, minimal 21st century City weddings. Excelling in teamwork, business planning, problem solving and decision making skills, the students fulfilled their entrepreneurial and creative abilities whilst having tremendous fun!
Plashet School and Newham EBP were very pleased with the success of this enterprise competition.
