Business trip to Drusilla's for our Year 12 Students
The Oasis Academy Year 12 Business group
visited Drusilla’s Animal Park on Wednesday
30th April 2014 as part of their Marketing Level
3 Unit. The purpose of
the visit was to see
marketing techniques
in action. The students
enjoyed a guided tour
around the park
followed by a
marketing lecture.
The trip was a huge
success and students
came away with a wealth of business marketing knowledge and how
this is applied to a real business.
The challenge for students now is to apply this experience to their
learning within the classroom.
This is the final Parent e-bulletin for this term. A full
newsletter will be published at the end of the term.
