AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP - STUDENT LEADERSHIP | 128 student leaders from three Perth high schools, one room and a full day of pitching ideas, building confidence and getting to know each other. That was the 2026 Student Leadership Conference and it was a great day.

The students worked through networking, ideation, public speaking and pitch presentations, then got up and presented their ideas in front of their peers from the other schools. One student told us the best part was having all three schools come together to develop pitches, share ideas and learn from each other.

Our evaluations backed that up:
94% of participants felt more confident in their leadership skills after the program
97% said they learnt new skills

If you'd like to bring this kind of energy to a student leadership day in your area, get in touch.

AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP - SCHOOLS | Picture a room full of South West Sydney students pitching their own business ideas to a panel of industry judges. That's how our Student Startup Program wraps up every time and it never gets old.

Over 5 to 10 weeks in the classroom, students identify a real problem in their community and build a business or social change idea around it. It all comes together at the Shark Tank style pitch event, where every student gets up and backs themselves in front of the panel. Watching that happen is one of the best parts of this job.

If your school wants to run entrepreneurship as a proper program rather than a one-off, this one is for you. www.ase.edu.au/studentstartup
