We believe in the power of social entrepreneurship to help young people in Australia reach their full potential.
Supported by the Academy team, Social Enterprise Schools is a young person-led, hands-on learning experience.
Through the process of setting up their own social enterprise, students develop the skills, mindsets and behaviours they will need for success as they move beyond the school gates. For more information on the details of the programme, download our flyer.
Led by young people
School social enterprises are driven and run by students with support from teachers and parents.
Students should spread the awareness of their social enterprise across their school and
community.
Connected to communities
School-based social enterprises have explicit social and/or environmental outcomes and their
profits are used to help achieve these. These can either be local issues or issues linked to a
community in another country.
Developing entrepreneurial skills
Students’ social enterprises have a clear trading activity and are directly involved in producing
goods or providing services to a market identified by the students.
Dynamic
School-based social enterprises aspire to make a positive and responsive change to peoples’ lives.
Mapped to the curriculum
Social Enterprise Schools is mapped to the Victorian Curriculum F – 10 making it easy for teachers
to navigate delivery and assessment of student achievements against core capabilities.
