Managing and operating the community website forms a key part of our academic studies, but as an added benefit, provides a great way for business and homeworkers to promote/advertise their services.
Students work in teams within a class or form group, or the skills needed can be taken from different disciplines/courses throughout the school - e.g. from Business Studies to Sport and Media students.
