Six members of Year 5 were lucky enough to spend the day at the new Baltic Campus of Gateshead College to take part in the final of the Boardroom Challenge, against seven other local schools.
They presented their fundraising idea to a panel of local councillors, bank managers and two representatives from the Prince’s Trust, who were very impressed!
The children also had the opportunity to try out some of the virtual reality headsets that are available on the campus, as well as completing a budgeting challenge.
This was a fantastic experience for all members of the group, and one they will remember for a long time!
