StartSmart Forums Brochure

StartSmart Forums are hitting  Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and will give your Year 9 & 10 students the money know-how they need, with the fun they want.

This hands-on forum is engaging and interactive and will energise your students and get them excited about managing money.  Best of all – it’s free!

Students will share ideas, play games, learn new skills and walk away better equipped to deal with the financial challenges that life throws at us. The day will cover everything from bank accounts to investing, credit cards, personal loans, managing debt, income, super and tax.

Up to 500 students will have a chance to share in the fun. Make sure your Year 9 & 10 students don’t miss out.

1. Your students will walk away with skills that will set them up for a smarter financial future

2. StartSmart Forums are an engaging and interactive day that makes learning about money fun

3. It's free!

4. It's relevant to the curriculum and will assist your school in implementing the National
