Consumer choice in Commerce

As part of our topic on Consumer Choice, Ms Clark’s and Mr Capelin’s Commerce classes are looking at factors that influence consumers including the role that brands play and how they can affect consumers perceptions of quality and value. Boys got the chance to ‘blind taste’ three different brands of different chips and biscuits and rate their preference. We then ‘revealed’ the brands and price of each.

Boys really enjoyed it, learnt something and might not have eaten all their dinner as a result.

Friday night

The boys will get plenty of recreation time later tonight. For now it is impressive to see how they are working hard when many students at other schools would have clocked off until Monday morning. 

Musical item at Assembly
