Introduction
Picture a Perth classroom buzzing with excitement. Kids are pitching bold ideas, laughing, and dreaming big, just like on Shark Tank Australia. At Tommy Sugo, we’re passionate about helping students shine through our Shark Tank Presentations. Led by Nathan Baws, a real Shark Tank star and local entrepreneur, we bring entrepreneurship and financial smarts straight to schools. Our goal? To build student confidence in a way that’s fun, practical, and unforgettable. These sessions aren’t just lessons-they’re a spark for kids to believe in themselves.
Here’s what you’ll love about our program:
- Hands-on activities like pitching and fundraising that build student confidence.
- Perfect for Years 5 to 12, tailored to Western Australia’s curriculum.
- Nathan’s real Shark Tank stories inspire kids to think big.
- Easy for Perth schools to host, with no heavy setup.
- Long-lasting impact-students walk away bolder and brighter.
Why Our Shark Tank Presentations Stand Out
We’re not your average school incursion. Our sessions mix laughter, learning, and real-world skills. Nathan, our founder, brings his Shark Tank Australia experience to life, sharing stories that make kids chuckle and think. We’ve seen how this approach helps build student confidence, turning shy students into eager participants right here in Perth.
Nathan Baws: The Heart of Our Program
Nathan’s no stranger to big stages. He pitched Tommy Sugo on Shark Tank Australia and learned firsthand what it takes to succeed. Now, he’s on a mission to share that with kids. I remember a session where Nathan told students about spilling sauce during a pitch-his goofy grin won them over! His stories show that mistakes are okay, helping build student confidence naturally.
He’s not just a businessman; he’s a teacher at heart. His energy gets even the quietest kids talking. Schools across Perth tell us how Nathan’s passion sticks with students long after he leaves.
Entrepreneurship: A Game-Changer for Kids
Why teach entrepreneurship? Because it’s more than business-it’s about problem-solving and courage. In Perth, where innovation drives our future, kids need these skills. Our sessions make it fun, with games and role-plays that get everyone laughing. Picture students pretending to be tough “sharks,” giggling as they grill pitches. This lighthearted vibe helps build student confidence without them even noticing.
We started this program to fill a gap. Kids deserve learning that feels alive, not stuck in books. Our approach works because it’s hands-on and joyful.
Made for Perth’s Unique Vibe
We’re proud locals, based right here in Western Australia. Our presentations fit Perth’s sunny, community-driven spirit. We weave in local themes-like sustainable businesses that resonate with WA’s love for the environment. This makes lessons feel personal, helping to build student confidence by connecting to kids’ everyday lives.
Teachers love how we tailor sessions to their school’s needs. Whether it’s a city classroom or a regional hall, we make it work. Plus, there’s no big setup-just us, Nathan, and a whole lot of fun.
Step-by-Step: How We Build Student Confidence
Our program is all about giving kids tools to shine. From pitching ideas to selling products, every activity is designed to nudge students out of their shells. Nathan’s humour keeps it light-like when he jokes about his “pasta disasters” to show failure’s no big deal. We’ve seen Perth kids light up, ready to take on new challenges after just one session.
Pitching Ideas with Gusto
Pitching is where the magic happens. Students dream up business ideas and present them to peers. We teach simple tricks: stand tall, speak clearly, smile. It’s amazing to watch a nervous kid nail their pitch and beam with pride.
In a recent Perth session, a Year 7 student pitched a reusable water bottle idea. She started shaky but ended strong, thanks to Nathan’s encouragement. That’s how we build student confidence-one pitch at a time. Group or solo, every kid gets a chance to shine.
Sales Training That Feels Like Fun
Selling sounds serious, but we make it a blast. Students practise selling Tommy Sugo products, learning to persuade with a grin. They earn commissions in fundraisers, which feels like a game but teaches real skills.
Fundraising: Real Results, Real Pride
Our fundraising activities tie it all together. Students plan and run sales, seeing their efforts pay off. It’s hands-on learning that feels rewarding. In Mandurah, one group raised funds for new sports gear, and their pride was unforgettable.
This real-world experience helps build student confidence as kids see what they’re capable of. We guide them every step, cheering them on. It’s about showing them they can make a difference.
Three Packages to Fit Your School
We offer three flexible packages, each crafted to build student confidence in a unique way. Nathan personalises every session, adding his signature humour. Whether you want a quick talk or a full-on Shark Tank event, we’ve got you covered.
Package One: The Entrepreneur Spark
This 30-60 minute session is perfect for assemblies. Nathan shares his Shark Tank journey, complete with a video clip that gets kids buzzing. A lively Q&A follows, letting students ask anything.
It’s a quick, powerful way to build student confidence through inspiration. Perth schools love how it energizes everyone in just an hour.
Package Two: Sales Skills with a Twist
This builds on the first package, adding hands-on sales training. Students learn to pitch Tommy Sugo products and run a fundraiser. It’s practical and fun, with real-world rewards.
A Rockingham class turned their fundraiser into a school-wide event, laughing as they sold. This package helps build student confidence through action and teamwork.
Package Three: Full-Blown Shark Tank Event
Our biggest option, up to four hours, where students create and pitch ideas to a “shark” panel. Nathan judges or trains teachers to. It’s immersive and unforgettable.
In a recent Perth session, a student’s eco-cafe pitch won cheers. This deep dive really helps build student confidence, as kids see their ideas come to life.
The Ripple Effect: Benefits That Last
Our presentations don’t just end when we pack up. Schools tell us students stay engaged, using new skills in class and beyond. Parents notice their kids talking more boldly at home. It’s the kind of impact that makes us smile.
Sharper Communication Skills
Pitching and Q&As teach kids to speak clearly and confidently. A quiet student in Joondalup started leading group projects after our session. That’s how we build student confidence-by giving kids a voice.
We mix activities to keep it fresh, from solo talks to group chats. It’s practical and fun, with skills that carry into every subject.
Financial Smarts Made Simple
Our fundraising and sales activities teach money basics in a way kids love. They budget, sell, and see results. One Perth dad told us his daughter now saves her pocket money smarter.
This hands-on approach helps build student confidence in handling real-world challenges. It’s learning disguised as fun.
Creativity That Sparks Innovation
We encourage wild ideas, from new apps to eco-products. Nathan’s funny examples-like a “pasta-powered car”-get kids thinking outside the box. This freedom builds student confidence in their creativity.
Schools see students applying this in art, science, and more. It’s a boost that spreads across learning.
Stories That Warm Our Hearts
Nothing beats seeing our impact in action. Across Perth, we’ve watched students grow in ways that make us proud. These stories show how we build student confidence every day.
From Shy to Shining
A Year 8 girl in a Perth school barely spoke at first. By the end of our pitch event, she presented a recycling idea with confid ence. Her teacher called it a breakthrough.
Moments like these are why we do this. They show how we build student confidence one student at a time.
A Fundraiser That United a School
A Clarkson primary school ran a fundraiser that became a community hit. Kids sold products, laughed, and raised funds for books. Their pride was contagious.
This success helped build student confidence across year levels. It was a win for the whole school.

A Subiaco teacher raved, “Students were buzzing for weeks!” Parents share how kids come home with big dreams. One mum said her son now wants to start a business.
