Level 2 Commerce 

At level 2, Commerce students have the opportunity to further their understanding of financial literacy.  Term One involves looking at aspects of Market Research within a business and understanding what drives a person to work towards a particular goal or outcome (Motivation Theory).  Students will also conduct Market Research for a new or existing product. During the middle of the year, Goal Setting and Budgeting unit standards will be completed.  Term Four will involve looking at a contemporary (topical) accounting issue.  This course requires resilience and teamwork as well as the ability to problem solve and communicate effectively with people in the business community.
