Monday 9 August, 8am-9am at Tūranga Library, a 5 minute walk from the Christchurch Town Hall. Spark Place Space, Ground Floor. Come in for a cuppa and a bite to eat at 8am, with talks starting at 8.15am.

Marc Capstick, Deputy Principal of Mountainview High and Kendall Flutey, CEO of Banqer, will be kicking off NZ Money Week with a current view of the financial literacy landscape in New Zealand. They'll look at the real world outcomes of making these tools accessible to students and the practicalities of rolling out financial education in secondary schools.

Speaking to the impact of financial literacy on future outcomes for students, Kendall will dive into the financial literacy landscape in Aotearoa, the effect of introducing these concepts at secondary school, and success stories from real teachers and students.

Marc prioritised implementing a required learning “financial numeracy” course into the Mountainview year 10 maths curriculum. The rollout has been hugely successful, seeing soaring student engagement and an average improvement of 68% in an incredibly diverse student base. Hear more about why he made sure the full year group could access this course, the planning and rollout process, how it’s made teaching easier, and the measurable impact it’s had on student learning and engagement. He will also be sharing some practical data and insights based on evaluations he’s undertaken with students in class.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions of Kendall, Marc and the Banqer team. Feel free to send through questions ahead of time to high@banqer.co.
