YEAR 12 - FINANCIAL LITERACY
Last week, we hosted Richard Hewitt from Nimbus Insurance. He spoke with the Year 12 students about effective habits to set yourself up, looked at downfalls and potential dangers in borrowing money, discussed challenges that exist for young people when purchasing property. Richard provided a very valuable understanding and insight to financial wellbeing. It was a fantastic opportunity for the students.
