The kids of Springbank School near Kerikeri tested their business ideas and sales skills on the public with a market day featuring more than 50 student companies on Sunday. Their products ranged from bows and arrows to Darth Vader-themed dark chocolate, fashion accessories and crystal-growing kits. Instead of paying tax the students had to donate 25 per cent of their profits to the charity of their choice. The market day also featured live music, a dance group, food stalls, bouncy castles and rides. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
