Financial Literacy Launch
On June 3rd, Howard was invited to speak at Old Parliament House as a facilitator for the Finance Literacy Launch. His job was to be able to contextualise the whole program- thus making it real by giving real experiences and ideas from his vast experience within schools.
The feedback that we got was that he did a great job, and as we would expect, used his enthusiastic approach to excite those attending and share the passion of the need for Finance Literacy in schools.

Survivor Life Skills program- the preffered program to go into schools by the Finance Literacy Foundation!
Wow- We were really pleased and proud to be told that our program has been selected as the preferred program. We know that there are so many expectations within the curriculum to cover, and so to be the preferred program means by having us at your school, you know that we can come in for a day and offer your students a high quality program, and assist you in your efforts to offer your students the highest quality education, as well as easing the pressure the high expectations put upon you by the Curriculum.

Rave reviews for Lyn Beasy
We have had rave reviews for the fantastic workshop that Lyn has been providing to Year 11 and Year 12 students on Stress and the HSC. Lyn is a Psycholgist and is able to define stress for students and discuss with them and show them many varied techniques for coping with the stress of Assessments and exams in Year 11 and 12. Feedback has been that students carry the workbook around with them as a constant reminder of how they can keep stress to a minimum, but also harness it in a positive useful way. Well done, Lyn! If you would like to book Lyn to come out to your school, call us on (02) 9532 1982
