Program 1: Relief teaching in Business Studies & Economics    

In the event of a teacher’s absence for a day or a period of up to four weeks, particularly in classes focused on Economics and/or Business Studies,
I am prepared to assume responsibility and maintain the continuity of learning.
I will employ innovative teaching methods to deliver syllabus content, whether in person at your school or through virtual platforms like Zoom.
I aim to ensure that these senior students continue to receive high-quality instruction and engagement during the absence of their regular teacher.

Program 2: Student Business Studies Lecture Day at School

This program will introduce your students to creative techniques for learning Business Studies. This will complement the work of the class teacher and translate into better understanding of the content and higher marks.
Two models for delivery –

1. Implementing an incursion lecture day model either within your school or extending it to neighboring schools in the area or region, hosted at your school.
2. Alternatively, these incursion lectures can be seamlessly integrated into the school students’ timetable. This could be achieved by allocating specific periods for different classes, ensuring that as many students as possible will have the opportunity to benefit from additional creative learning experiences. This program might involve HSC classes and Prliminary classes.
