L3 Financial Capabilities

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs N. Poffley.

This course is designed to give students the opportunity to develop a relationship with money they may receive, earn and inherit.  

Students will gain hands-on money tips to inform decisions that will equip them to meet their personal financial goals, whether this is financing options, investments, property, or just managing day to day personal finances.

This is done through establishing what their money personality is, information of services that banks and finance companies offer, money traps, how to avoid debt, loan sharks, taxation and other deductions relating to personal income as well as investing strategies and property financing.

This course will be assessed to a selection of L3 Financial Capabilities Unit Standards. 

Assessment is a combination of both graded and ungraded standards. Students will have the opportunity to gain up to 21 credits at L3.
