Three students from All Saints College in Bathurst have taken out the local prize in the 2013 Game On competition for Year 10 and 11 students enrolled in commerce, economics, legal studies and other related subjects in central NSW. Three All Saints students - James Keech, Alex Mitton and Juan Kritzinger - built and operated their own ‘virtual’ business, titled ‘AJJG Smart Tech’, in a computer simulated market and competition hosted by CSU’s Faculty of Business. Local Game On coordinator and Head of School of Management and Marketing Associate Professor Mark Frost said, “The exercise aims to help students develop skills in finance, human resource management, marketing and operations that are relevant to the real world. The game complements the Stage 6 NSW Business Studies curriculum.” The simulation ran from May until September 2013 with eight rounds of competition between over 550 students from 23 NSW high schools from Port Macquarie to Albury, including 24 teams in the central west. It enables students to learn through hands-on experience and encourages students to apply these key business principles to their own ‘virtual’ business.
