Financial Literacy- Earning/Saving money💸

Today, we were visited by our financial literacy tutors, Adam and Matt. We are going to be having them for a hour for four days, each morning to teach us about....well financial literacy!.

Matt, who we had tutor us last year, refreshed our memories on how to save money, earn, how to invest more money and how to reduce our expenses. We talked in our house groups about these topics and did some individual activities. Matt and Adam gave us various worksheets, some about the ways we can earn money, like doing chores, holding fundraisers, fun runs, paper runs, etc. We were also given worksheets about reducing expenses at an young age such as making home made lunch, spend less money on lollies, etc.

At the end of our session, we were quizzed by both Matt and Adam. The outcome was a success. Tomorrow, Matt and Adam are going to be coming back, but teaching us about a different topic, which I am looking forward too!.

Financial Literacy 💰Lessons

From Monday to Thursday Room 7 had received special lessons on Financial literacy. These lessons were to teach us students how to take care of our money as well as saving money. Also teaching us how to stop identity theft, be credit worthy and minimize risk (Insurance). Our financial literacy teachers (Hannah and Kelsey) gave us a clear idea on what these statements meant.

Also each morning we were given different exercises based on all four topics. I loved how we were given different scenarios to act out in front of the class(We were given treats for our great effort and good answers). And the little pan flits we were given at the end of each lesson summed up what we learned. At our last session we were given a different pan flit, a quiz and certificates. All of which we received. We were given our individual certificates and took a photo together.

I would like to thank PWC for taking time out to have these lessons with us, as well as Hannah and Kelsey who were both amazing.
