Welcome to TFFS's Business Department Website

Everywhere you look, you see the world of business! It touches us all by addressing our needs, wants, our outlooks on the future, and security. Every time we enter a store or building, business is involved. When we make and eat food, business is involved. When we bank, business is involved. Even school has its business side.

At Turner Fenton, the business teachers have long recognized that it is important for students to experience the impact that business has on their lives. Courses that cover:

• the functions of business and the factors of production in the local and the international community
• the role of management and labour
• the basis of financial planning and accounting
• the function of marketing
• the importance of information technology to the future of business
• economic conditions affecting business and commerce
• the entrepreneurial spirit of tomorrow's business men and women

Each year, students can explore one or more of these courses. In the final year of high school, the students can put into practice much of their knowledge in the Administrative Studies class, where they run and manage their own enterprise, with all profits being allocated to charities of the class's choice.
