COLLEGE students posed as a catering company for a day to sharpened their business acumen.
Youngsters from Ferryhill Business and Enterprise College were given financial advice and guidance from staff at NatWest as they prepared a catering contract.
Year six and seven students were divided into teams that had to plan and design menus, supply, prepare and serve the food.
They presented their tenders, including some sample dishes, to a panel of judges from NatWest, local businesses and the school, who judged quality and value for money.
Lynne Gibson, of Ferryhill Business and Enterprise College, said: "This was a great day which the young people really enjoyed.
"It's very important that they gain basic money skills and have the opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial and creative abilities."
