Do you mean business? Come join the DECA business competition!
The DECA business club is gearing up for another fantastic season of fun and competition! Last year we took over fifty students to the Provincial competition in Toronto in February for two-days of competition and fun at the Sheraton Centre Hotel.
If you have a keen sense for business, marketing, advertising, or promotions of any sort of product, this club is the one for you! There are group categories for competition, as well as individual ones.
There is something for everyone, so consider joining us!
Please complete this Google Form indicating your preference for category and activity. Please note that you must choose either an oral or a written, you cannot choose both. Also, please note that you may not get your first choice! If you are considering working with a partner or group, please make sure you indicate the name(s) of the other individual(s) where this information is asked for on the form.
When we meet
Thursdays after school in Room 214.
