S3 pupils are a hit on the stock market!

Five students in S3 proved that trading in the Stock Market is no easy task!  Business Management students Amy, Jack, Lauren, Amy, and Ahmed took part in the annual Stock Market Challenge held at the Mitchell Library on Thursday 26 January.  Competing against 27 other schools the team were tasked with investing over £20,000 in a virtual stock market with the aim of maximising their portfolio by the end of trading. As soon as the familiar stock market bell rang the team had limited time to respond to breaking news bulletins and decide whether to buy or sell their shares!  

Although the team did not take the top prize they were met with success, winning the prize for best Media Analysis.  Congratulations to the team on their success.
