Financial literacy should be mandated in curriculum, teaching staff say
In 2021, 44 per cent of students left Loganlea State High School without plans for work or further study. Today that's just 20 per cent.
The school attributes the success to its financial literacy and wellbeing programs
What's next? The school and a not-for-profit say financial literacy should be mandated in the national curriculum.
Year 10 students Alyssa Rosario and Cassie Sorenson are already saving for their dream careers as a paramedic and a teacher after completing a financial literacy course.
"We've learned how to save, the difference between wanting and needing stuff, like essentials on what to save for," Cassie said.

How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today?
