On Thursday our Year 1-6 students had the opportunity to take part in the Commonwealth Bank Start Smart Primary program, which teaches skills in a way that students can understand and enjoy. It was developed with a panel of leading specialists in primary education, cognitive development, instructional design and financial literacy.

The Start Smart Primary age appropriate workshops address topics including understanding between needs and wants, identifying currency, how to shop, different ways of earning an income and saving money to achieve personal financial goals.

Start Smart is an award-winning financial education program offered to school aged students across Australia to help them prepare for their future. Conducted by world-class facilitators, the interactive, educational workshops are designed to motivate and inspire students and give them the confidence and skills to make smart decisions about money.

Start Smart reaches over 550,000 students each year. Since it was founded in 2007, over 3 million students have participated in Start Smart, making it the largest program of its kind in the world.

It’s never too early to teach children the value of money. Research indicates that it is crucial to develop financial literacy skills from an early age. For more information head to: https://www.commbank.com.au/about-us/opportunity-initiatives/opportunity-from-education/start-smart....
