These projects not only support the school financially but also equip students with practical business skills.
The income from these ventures has allowed the school to acquire additional resources like a commuter omnibus (pictured) and a superette, offering affordable items to students while fostering business acumen in them.
Vocational training is also a significant part of the curriculum, providing students with essential life skills through hands-on learning in projects like piggery and abattoir management. This prepares students for life beyond school.
