They have created a business, designed a product and sold it to raise money for the SPCA - and they're still in primary school.
The students of Room 19 at Whangarei's St Francis Xavier Catholic School have turned their classroom into a business complete with marketing, finance, production, design and sales departments, and have raised more than $1000 for SPCA Whangarei.
But if you walk into this company, called 27 Innovators to reflect the 27 students in the class, you won't see men and women in suits, you will see boys and girls dressed in animal onesies.
Parent Joanne Ashby said that each term the school had a different concept and this term it was innovation.
"We talked about bringing entrepreneurship into the classroom and part of that meant they had to solve a particular problem. We wanted the money to go to charity and we decided on the SPCA," she said.
