On Friday 23rd November Woodham Academy’s Future Business Magnates competitors went to Bishop Auckland College to compete in the first challenge of the Future Business Magnates competition against thirteen other schools. The aim of the challenge was to build team skills in order to ensure a successful team experience throughout the rest of the year. Woodham Academy is supported in the competition by Ebac, based on Aycliffe Business Park.
The students had a series of tasks over the course of the day which comprised of physical, thinking and team building tasks. Woodham Academy came joint first in the challenge along with two other local schools.
“The team worked well together quickly and effectively in a very focussed way. The skills gained at the event will allow them to work well to meet future deadlines and has helped them to recognise that a certain degree of competition in business is inevitable and can be positive. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all” said Mr Chris Enticknap, lead teacher for Woodham Academy team.
