Festivals are part of the fabric of Somerset College. For over 30 years, the College has been a leader in literature and performance festivals through Storyfest and the Somerset Festival for Young Performers. As the first independent coeducational school on the Gold Coast, Somerset was entrepreneurial before that term even existed. That spirit of problem solving and creative thinking was evident in every educational and commercial step we have taken over the past 37 years. We are a proud Gold Coast institution. In 2021, it is time for our fifth Celebration of Entrepreneurship! Through this initiative, the College will again empower and promote the culture of entrepreneurship for which the Gold Coast is famous. That we have been able to go ahead with the Festival in the midst of a global pandemic is remarkable. I thank the College Board and my College Leadership Team for their hard work and passion to make the Festival happen! 2021 has been a challenge, and it is the entrepreneurial mindset that will allow the Gold Coast and Somerset to overcome our current economic and health challenges and flourish into the future. We hope you enjoy the Celebration of Entrepreneurship. We are excited to welcome you to Somerset College and we are sure you will enjoy the variety of talented entrepreneurs who have generously given their time to the Gold Coast community. Together, we will make the world a better place, one startling idea at a time. Craig Bassingthwaighte Headmaster Somerset College welcome | The Headmaster

| The Chairperson

Since 2017, the Somerset Celebration of Entrepreneurship has developed a reputation as the premier youth entrepreneurship festival in Australia. During this 5-year period, the Festival has evolved and grown rapidly, yet we still maintain our focus on connecting the problem solvers, creative thinkers and innovators to empower and promote entrepreneurship on the Gold Coast and in Queensland. As the community is no doubt aware, it has been challenging to hold the Festival in 2021. However, now more than ever we must celebrate entrepreneurship because it will be the light that leads the Gold Coast and Australia out of the health and economic challenges that we currently face. Thank you once again to our supporters and sponsors who are acknowledged in this Festival Guide! Your generous support has made it possible to provide complimentary tickets to the Festival in 2021. Moving forward, our aim is to keep tickets free, so that the Festival can continue to connect the entire Gold Coast community and empower the entrepreneurial mindset for which the city is famous! Please tell all your friends and family about our sponsors and supporters so that we can continue to keep Festival tickets free in the future. Thank you for visiting Somerset College and attending the Celebration of Entrepreneurship. We welcome you warmly and look forward to sharing the Festival with you over the next 2 days!
