What teachers are saying:

• “Carly and Jill have done the hard yards, and that what they’re doing is evidence based. They’ve reminded me that there are things that our students are interested in and doing that I don’t know about. It’s been a bit mind-blowing, really. They’ve come up with some really great ideas – things that I’ve never thought about before.” English and Humanities teacher 
• “I’ve not seen anything like this offered before. So I was curious. I didn’t know what I didn’t know! This course has given me some of the financial vocabulary and some of the context that I’ve been missing. There are so many new products and services that are vital for students to understand now. Thanks for your engaging presentations and original ideas. I think this is an incredible initiative!” Commerce and Mathematics teacher 
• “I absolutely loved this course! I really liked the idea of bringing humanities and maths together. Maybe we should be working together more?” Maths and Science teacher
