'GetWise' financial literacy

Today we had a visit from Kimble, from the ASB bank, and he was running a course on financial literacy in the library.  He had Rooms 13 and 15 entertained with his anecdotes and information in the hour-long session.

 He admitted not all of the stories were 'true', but they were used to get our students thinking about their own choices and how these could affect their futures.


The second part of the hour was based on taking a Hawaiian holiday, with choices around the package deal, medical insurance options, and being involved in some dramas.  The winning team had the most money left over from the $2000 budget.

A very worthwhile hour and we now know Kimble washed windows when he had the aim of saving for a bike. The low-rider Chevy Impala was a different story!
