Three students from Kooringal High School (KHS) in Wagga Wagga have taken out the Riverina prize in the 2013 Game On competition for Years 10 and 11 students enrolled in commerce, economics, legal studies, and other related subjects. The KHS students built and operated their own ‘virtual’ business, titled ‘Ranga’, in a computer simulated market and competition hosted by Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Faculty of Business. Local Game On coordinator and Associate Head of School of Management and Marketing, Dr Padma Nathan, said, “The exercise aims to help students develop skills in finance, human resource management, marketing, and operations that are relevant to the real world. Game On 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. It enables students to learn through hands-on experience and encourages students to apply these key business principles to their own ‘virtual’ smart phone business.
