Pastoral care
Mai
I will feature a school each week in my pastoral care class. For me, just doing a 15 minute focus each week will give my class greater awareness of financial concepts and definitely help build their financial capability.
Life skills
Martin
I am wanting to start a "Money Club" at the school. I know I will have a lot of students interested in the club. Featuring a different school each month is an excellent way to start each club meeting, which will then lead to deeper conversations about the topics they are interested in. Thanks TWA. This is a huge timesaver!
Hope for at-risk students
Jenny
We have many students in at-risk situations, with some in designated support classes. Courses like this one, reassure our students, that there are teenagers across Australia equally confused about the financial world and that they are not alone. This course will give our kids hope for the future. For many of them, they are looking for that hope.
Privileged but ...
Tom
Our students mostly have quite privileged backgrounds. Access to money is not a huge issue for most. The beauty of this course is that it re-orients our students to the real world. This is an important lesson. The other important lesson for our kids is that just because they have access to money, doesn't mean they know how to use money responsibly. This course helps build their capability, something their parents will appreciate.
Boarding
Rick
Our boarding house will feature a different school each month. Our final year boarders will lead the discussion supported by a coordinator. The goal isn't about developing expertise, it is simply to generate awareness and prompt discussion. Our boarders will like this relaxed approach.
