students attend the Aboriginal Employment Strategy (AES) in
Moree on a weekly basis for 1.5 - 2 hours each
week with some sessions lasting a whole day during the school

Motivation of Students
Students need to be keen to be part of a business enterprise.
They will be creating their own product, a small discreet
product.
To encourage students,
teachers need to be aware that there is a parallel program
involving the Business Mentors from the Chamber of Commerce.
This program is to be organised so that students are given
successful business venture stories from successful business
people. It is intended that students would hear from business
people every 6 weeks.
If you intend to use this
WebQuest for your classes, it is suggested that you also
organise the input of your Chamber of Commerce or Business
People within your area.
Some information has been
given in the Meeting Place
area of the WebQuest.
Monies acquired:
To be kept in a trust fund or for the students to collectively,
at their business association meeting, to decide on where the
proceeds are to be distributed.
