get your school involved

The Young Business Mind Awards is a great opportunity to showcase your school, teachers and students and to connect with businesses and industry across the Hunter.

Has your school delivered a great learning outcome?

We are looking for the school in the Hunter region that encourages and promotes the skills and opportunities available to all students and those with innovative minds. A school inspires students and develops new and creative ways in order to approach learning and classroom participation. 

If you know a teacher or principal that you recognise as an individual that makes your school experience one that is focused on encouraging creativity, innovation or entrepreneurship you should consider submitting them to the Hunter Young Business Minds Awards.

This award recognises the most outstanding learning and development program or initiative implemented in a Hunter Regional school. This includes all schools across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Upper and Lower Hunter, and Maitland.  We are looking for the best learning experience encouraging creativity, innovation or entrepreneurialism in students.
