Mr Sasha Javonovic, Program Co-ordinator of the SmartStart Workshops visited Coonabarabran High School on April 2. The workshops are an initiative sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank Foundation.
Mr Javonovic spoke to all Year 10 on six key areas of personal finance that are likely to impact greatly on our students in their future years. The areas covered included Earning an Income, Taxation, Budgeting, Bank Accounts, Mobile Phones and Buying a Car. During the morning a number of simulations were used to illustrate the issues and to analyse the impact decisions could have on the future lifestyle of students.
We thank Sacha and the Commonwealth Bank Foundation for the time and resources given to our school and we look forward to Sacha returning next year.
