Melbourne's Port Fairy Consolidated School
"Most of my students enjoy the aspect of spending money, but they also love to save! They are very engaged and often talk to each other about the financial decisions they’re making. Top savers and those with high net wealth are often asked to explain how they raised their money."

“Good money habits should begin at an early age so that students can understand the importance of budgeting and planning.
