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.
