Last week we all enjoyed Coach Cash’s visit to teach us more about money and good spending habits.
Remember the motto she taught us:
Spend some on you… but save some too!
Using your key card – not a credit card!Congratulations everyone as she said that you are the first group of students she has seen who know so much about spending – being able to work out deals and how to save money! Very impressive!
Room 6 had a visit from Coach Cash earlier this term to tell us how to manage our money. Two our of students were journalists for the day: Izzy and Kayne and this is what they wrote about her visit. [Well done to both of you. 🙂 Mrs Veary]
Coach Cash Came to our school
I am a Journalist for Coach cash . I am doing Key Cards. Coach cash chose Kayne and Ruby for a Key Card Show to show the class. She showed that us she was going to the cinemas. She showed us how the machine works through the cinema’s bank account and the Commonwealth Bank. She said there was a special quadpack for 45 dollars and she had 50 dollars to spend, but the tickets were only 15 dollars . So she said to just buy the tickets and get snacks from home.
Part2 The soccer season is in 2 weeks’ time. You have to buy soccer boots. There are different offers. There is an offer for 50 dollars but is gives free jellybeans and you get them now or another one for 40 dollars and you get 10 dollars change, but you get them in 2 weeks time or you get the ones for 45 dollars and get 5 dollars change and you get them right now. We had to choose. She bought the 50 dollars one and then she goes home and her mum says, “Oh good, but where are your shin guards?”

Introduction
Coach Cash (Amber) is a person that works at the bank. She taught us two courses. The first one was money, money, money, and money.
The second one was get the cash, put it away and save some too..So those were the courses.
Using A Key Card
Coach Cash taught us how to use a Key card. Coach Cash used Ruby and Kayne as assistants. This is how it worked, there were two money boxes with string attached to the money boxes and Ruby and Kayne were talking to each other. Ruby was the bank and Kayne was the person who was using the key card. Kayne had 50 dollars in the bank. He wanted to get a family pack and the family pack came with a hat, popcorn, ice cream and a bottle of water.
Kayne had no more money left to buy tickets.
So that is a lesson on spending money wisely and thinking of more important stuff like buying a house or a car.
