A 17-year-old student in New South Wales is managing a growing business while preparing for high school exams. Ava, a Year 12 student, has launched a business selling handmade products online. She balances her academic responsibilities with running her business, which has seen increased demand.
Ava started her business during the pandemic, initially selling handmade items on social media. Over time, her business expanded to include custom orders and a wider range of products. She uses her free time after school and on weekends to manage orders and create new items.
This is not the first time Ava has balanced school and work. She has been involved in part-time jobs since she was 14. Her parents support her efforts, encouraging her to pursue her passion while maintaining good grades. Ava’s story highlights the increasing trend of young entrepreneurs in Australia.
