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.
She is now saving for university and putting aside cash in an "emergency fund" in case something unexpected comes up.

Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. “Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,” says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means it’s not controlled by any one organization. “It’s like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,” says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. “Nobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.”
