Key financial literacy concepts are woven throughout the programme and are delivered through interactive activities and games, inspiring personal stories and highly energetic participation
GetWise is not about specific banking products and services and the programme is not designed to sell anything to the audience. Topics covered include:
Learning where money comes from, why we have it and its value
An introduction to the golden rules of saving, and why saving is so important
Understanding how we earn money
Developing skills to cope with everyday financial situations that are relevant right now, like counting money at the tuck shop or choices around earning, saving and spending pocket money
Identifying the difference between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’
GetWise workshops and resources are entirely free. Our facilitators will provide the schools they visit with a copy of the GetWise teacher resource kit complete with suggested lesson plans and ideas for further activities to ensure the learning can continue long after they leave.
We have sessions specifically designed for three different year primary levels – Year 1 and 2; 3 and 4; and 5 and 6. All of our sessions run for between 30 and 45 minutes. We also offer an intermediate programme.
