Small groups of students worked together to develop an innovative product, service and marketing idea for their partner company. Out of 75 submissions, the most innovative eight ideas were announced at a festive awards ceremony in Melbourne on November 9. Students, teachers and principals as well as representatives of partner companies such as Bosch, DB Schenker, SBS German, Melbourne Design Studios and Bretzel Biz, the German Embassy and the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce came together to celebrate the creativity and inventiveness of this year's participants. Congratulations again to the proud winners and thanks to everyone who supports this great project for professional orientation.

The winning team at the Awards Night at Kenmore State High School on 10 November 2017 | © Silver Rose Photography The piloting phase of the ideas competition Enterprise German has come to an end for the school year 2017. Student groups from three classes from the PASCH schools Box Hill High School (Melbourne, Victoria), Kenmore State High School, and Ferny Grove State High School (Brisbane, Queensland) have partnered with a company in their region to develop an innovative business idea as well as an advertisement idea.
It wasn't easy for the jury, consisting of representatives from educational institutions and the German Embassy, to select the three most creative ideas and associated commercials from the impressive 15 submissions.
