We are thrilled to announce that several of our students have been recognized as champions at this year’s Young Enterprise Regional (YES) Awards!
FlexiBox won the Supreme Award and was crowned BOP Champion. The Year 13 team consists of Aaron Pulikkottil, Ryan Williams, Jacob Graham, Eric Shin and Shin Yul Park. The boys will represent the BOP at the YES Nationals in Wellington in December, vying for the title of YES Company of the Year.
CEO Aaron describes FlexiBox as the world’s first truly modular and 3D-printed lunchbox. Featuring an innovative SlideLock mechanism, it offers full control of the lunchbox experience from meal portions to space efficiency and customisation, all made possible through individual detachable food compartments that slide in or out.
The boys’ hard work, many prototypes, innovation and commitment to excellence shone through in every aspect of their YES journey. Join us in congratulating our champions for representing Aquinas with pride and showing what dedication can achieve!

The Young Enterprise Scheme gives senior secondary students the chance to unleash their inner entrepreneurs and experience the start-up world first-hand.
Students set up and run a real business, creating a product or service and bringing it to market. Throughout the school year, they are judged on product validation, promotion, a Dragon’s Den-style pitch event, sales, and an end-of-year review.
