Congratulations to Michael Carey (Y10) who was the winner of Divisions 1 and 2 2007 CPA Plan Your Own Enterprise Competition.  As the state winner Michael travelled to Canberra to take part in the national finals competition and won the Under 16 category for Australia with his Wiggles and Giggles Childcare and Coffee Shope business concept for shopping centres.

Congratulations also to Kosta Karageorge (Y10) and Thomas Furlong (Y10) who won the Group Division WA title with their Rottnest Boat Service and Lachlan Brown (Y10) and Nicholas Rogers (Y10) who were runners up.

A number of our year 11 economic students represented the school at the Ignit Young Leaders incorporated and SIFE Leadership Conference held at UWA earlier this year.  Darren Tan, David Cullingford, Blake Stove, James Sprivulis, Andreas Noe and Joshua Helsby are to be congratulated for their outstanding contribution to the conference.  It was noted that the success of this event would not have been possible without their involvement.

Year 10, 11 and 12 students participated in the Australian and New Zealand Economics Competition. Over 70,000 students from Australia, New Zealand and selected South East Asian countries were tested on their grasp of theoretical and practical applications of economics and the implementation of recent government policy.  Results were exceptional given the tough competition and we congratulate Patrick McKenzie (Y10), Ian Loke, Blake Stove and Daren Tan (Y11) and Eugen Lim, Alex Turner, Phillip Whyte and Andrew Tulloch (Y12) who achieved a High Distinction placing them in the top 1%.
