How Money Works: Real-Life Skills for Secondary School Students

What's is all about?

How money works is about providing secondary school aged students with the skills and confidence to take control of their money, make smarter choices, and build a future filled with financial freedom and opportunity.

This 3-hour workshop will covers concepts including:

• Budgeting

• Saving

• Types of debt

• Credit cards and how they work

• Buying a house

• Investing

• Superannuation

• Insurance

• And many other topics
