Photos: Springbank School market day

Northland’s future entrepreneurs tested their products and marketing skills on the public last Sunday when Springbank School, near Kerikeri, held its annual market day. Student businesses sold everything from garden sculptures and phone holders to kawakawa balm and bath bombs, and donated 25 per cent of their profits to charity. Stalls were judged on presentation and innovation with the winners due to be announced at a school assembly on Tuesday. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
