Year 11 Business Studies introduces students to how businesses are established, managed and developed.
Students need to understand more than definitions. They need to apply business concepts to case studies, analyse business situations, explain management strategies and communicate their ideas clearly.
At Markitup, students build these skills throughout Year 11 so they are better prepared for the demands of HSC Business Studies.
Our program follows the current NSW Business Studies Stage 6 syllabus and covers all three Year 11 topics: Nature of Business, Business Management and Business Planning.
Students learn the content, practise applying it to business situations and develop the written skills needed for assessments.

Case studies are an important part of Business Studies.

This helps students move from simply describing a business to explaining why a strategy may be appropriate and how it could affect the business.
Business Studies requires students to communicate their understanding clearly.
Strong Business Studies responses require clear structure and accurate use of terminology.
We focus on helping students write answers that directly address the question rather than simply reproducing memorised notes.
Year 11 Business Studies also introduces students to important financial concepts. Students practise working with:

Year 11 is when students begin developing the study and writing habits they will carry into Year 12.
We work alongside what students are learning at school so they can strengthen their understanding rather than simply repeat classroom content.
