A team of four Year 12 students from Kristin School – Arvin Alipour, Dania Al-Hakeem, Jonothan Gong and Tim Kasayapanand – recently participated in the National Secondary Schools Case Competition (NSSCC). The NSSCC challenges students to develop their own business strategies based on a real-life case study.

 

The team began their journey in the preliminary round, competing against 100 other teams. Their impressive performance earned them a spot in the semifinals, where they presented their findings to a panel of expert judges. Following their outstanding presentation, they advanced to the finals, competing against four other teams at the University of Auckland.

 

In the finals, the team faced a new case and had just five hours to prepare before presenting in the Blackwell Case Room to a different panel of expert judges.

 

After a day of hard work, their efforts paid off as they achieved first place, earning a grant of $1,000.

 

Additionally, Dania Al-Hakeem was honoured with the Best Speaker award.

 

Congratulations to our Kristin students for their remarkable accomplishments!
