Talk Money Workshop

Students in Years 4/5/6 recently took part in the Talk Money program, delivered by the Ecstra Foundation. This involved two interactive workshops designed to help Australian students build lifelong money skills, feel confident discussing financial matters, and make informed decisions about money.

The sessions were engaging and thought-provoking. Students explored how people think, feel, and act with money and learned about the HEARD framework, which supports having respectful and constructive money conversations.

NSW Public Schools Student Survey

The NSW Public Schools Surveys (NPSS) are a new suite of surveys designed to gather insights from students, parents and teachers about their experiences at school. These insights help school leaders understand what’s working well and where improvements can be made.The NSW Public Schools Student Survey will be conducted in Term 2, providing students in Years 3 to 12 the opportunity to share what matters to them most – whether it’s feeling supported, engaged in learning or safe at school. An opt- out form with further information will be sent out in the next couple of days (paper copy). It is only necessary to return the form if you do not give consent for your child to participate.
