Start smart
Start Smart year 9
Year 9 Commerce participated in an incursion last Friday called Start Smart run by Commonwealth Bank.

The aim of the day was for them to find out about earning and spending money.

Through talks, games and discussion sessions the students learned about their rights as workers, where to find about minimum pay and conditions and how to do their taxes.

Other topics covered were how to start their own small business and options to invest their hard-earned cash. They also found out how businesses encourage them to spend more, and how to resist it!

The students really enjoyed their day.
