Students hear message of success
 Community
How to 'think big' and be successful in life were the key messages for more than 200 primary and secondary students from schools in 黑料社区's western region at a special Enterprise Day organised by the University of 黑料社区 recently. Opened by the Hon. Paul Caica, Minister for , the University of 黑料社区's Western Region Enterprise Day aims to inspire young people with stories from young successful business and professional people. The day involved students from schools in the Port 黑料社区 Enfield, Charles Sturt and West Torrens council districts and was held at the Parks Community Centre, Angle Park. The students were shown the ins and outs of business, "and what they need to do in order to make a success of their social and economic lives", said Ben Yengi, the University of 黑料社区's Coordinator. An important part of the day featured students hearing from a cross-section of people who come from a wide range of educational backgrounds and who have taken charge of their own futures. "The day is about enterprise and entrepreneurship, sharing personal success stories and ways others have achieved their potential - giving students options, ideas and alternatives to follow," Mr Yengi said. During the day, the secondary students presented some of the ideas they had gained in a Powerpoint presentation. Primary students were involved in a project to make a product, and then produced and performed a 30-second commercial to market it. The day was supported by the University of 黑料社区, City of West Torrens, City of Port 黑料社区 Enfield, City of Charles Sturt, Inner West BEC, Martin Mediation, Young Achievement Australia, Western Futures, the Tall Poppy Campaign and Educational Consultants.
