Pitching their business ideas to three Dragons, Year 6 at High Beeches Junior School excelled themselves.

All 60 children were invited to form teams to create businesses to be operated at an upcoming school event with parents. Rotary in Harpenden provided training together with seed corn money to get the teams started. We then arranged for the Dragons to put the children through their paces.

Dragon Ian McDowell said: ‘The winning three teams had the best ideas we have seen while Rotary in Harpenden have been running this event. The children had clearly taken on board their messages about products, profitability, pitching and competition.’
