Career Education: developing entrepreneurial skills through social enterprise
Myrrhee School social enterprise learning experiences incorporate the Australian Curriculum learning areas of Mathematics, English, and Technologies. General capabilities developed during the social enterprise experiences include Critical and creative thinking, Personal and social capability, ICT capability, Ethical understanding, Literacy and Numeracy capabilities.
In the Year 9 social enterprise elective at Cathedral College Wangaratta, students develop their social enterprise projects within the Australian Curriculum learning areas of The Arts and Technologies. Social enterprise experiences encourage the development of general capabilities, particularly the transferable elements of the Personal and social capability and Critical and creative thinking. Ongoing career education experiences in Year 10 are aligned to the Australian Curriculum Work Studies learning area.
