Smart Money Talks
Money Week took place from Monday 3 to Friday 7 August, giving students the opportunity to learn more about financial literacy, money management, and making smart financial decisions for the future. This year’s theme, 鈥淪mart Money Talks鈥�, focused on encouraging students to have conversations about money and develop practical skills that they can use in everyday life.
The week was organised by the Commerce Club, with a range of activities and guest speakers planned throughout the week.
On Monday, we kicked off Money Week with Andrew De Boyett and Bhagjot Singh from the University of Auckland Business Navigators Programme. Students had the opportunity to hear about business, university pathways, and the importance of developing skills for their future.
On Tuesday, students were introduced to the theme of Money Week through a video and PowerPoint presentation during 奥丑腻苍补耻 Assembly, which provided practical information and ideas on making smarter financial decisions.
Wednesday was all about getting students involved, with Kahoot and money-themed games held during lunchtime. This gave students a fun, interactive way to test their financial knowledge while learning new things along the way.
On Thursday, we announced the winners of our Shark Tank-inspired competition. Students had spent time developing their own business ideas and preparing presentations to pitch their concepts. Congratulations to our winners, and a huge thank you to everyone who took part!
We finished the week on Friday with Andre and Alexis Khoo from the University of Auckland鈥檚 SavY Charitable Trust. They spoke to students about financial literacy and encouraged them to think about developing positive money habits for the future.
Overall, Money Week was a great opportunity for students to learn, participate, and have conversations about money in a fun and practical way. A huge thank you to everyone who supported the week, especially our guest speakers, staff, Commerce Club members, and students who got involved.
Let鈥檚 make smart money talk!
