Financial Literacy lessons from PWC

Last week Room 7 and Room 8 were lucky enough to have two coaches from PwC come and teach us about how to be safe and responsible with our money.

Taonga wrote a summary of our first lesson.
On Session 1 we meet two guys called Tim and Sash. With Tim and Sash we learnt how to be trustworthy they said way to be trustworthy is if someone lends you something then you give it back on the right time. It also means it has to not be damaged. After that we got into teams and Tim and Sash gave us a paper that we had to act out in front of the class which was a bit scary but fun because we got to act it out.  

In our second lesson we learnt about insurance and the different types you can get. We also spoke about the difference between saving and borrowing money and how it actually can sometimes mean you spend more if you choose to only pay a little bit at a time.
