Commerce & Business Studies
Business Studies for the HSC and Commerce across the junior years, taught with real case studies, correct terminology and business report structure.
Business Studies is won on case study depth and report structure. Students need a business they know well enough to use as evidence in any question, and the discipline to write in a structured business report format under time pressure.
Commerce students build the financial literacy, legal understanding and written expression that make the senior subjects much easier when they arrive.
