The prize in the Business Education department’s popular Jannettas Gelateria Design-a-Gelato Competition has been scooped!
Teams of F1 pupils took up the exciting challenge of dreaming up the next great Jannettas ice-cream flavour, with Eva, Emily, and Sienna’s innovative Sea Buckthorn Swirl Sorbet being adjudged the winner.
Eight groups were shortlisted for the final in which they had the chance to pitch their ideas – and even offer up some home-made samples – to Ross and Lewis Hazel, the fifth-generation Managing Directors of Jannettas.
Ross and Lewis had launched this year’s contest with a brilliant presentation on the importance of key considerations such as marketing, food trends and provenance. And when they returned it was the turn of the pupils to showcase vital business skills like presenting, teamwork, creativity, and research.
A huge thank you to Ross and Lewis for giving their time so generously and bringing the world of product development to life for our pupils.
Head of Business Education Neil Higgins, said, “The product development challenge with Jannettas is the pinnacle of the S1 Enterprise Course where we use Enterprise and Entrepreneurship to develop skills for learning, life, and work such as presenting, teamwork and leadership.
“During the course, pupils learn about what makes a great presentation, branding, business pitching and business ethics. The course is incredibly popular with our pupils and parents alike as it ensures our pupils have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to allow them to flourish and reach their full potential.”
