What a Western Australian teacher had to say.....

Very engaging, student interest maintained for the full hour. Information meshed very well with the Commonwealth Bank Foundation curriculum resource material and sound consolidation of concepts was provided with the presentation at the conclusion of a short economics course that had financial literacy embedded. Presenter was very accommodating in tailoring the presentation to fit the topics covered in the course. - Jenny, Penrhos College
