The seminar Money Matters has been revamped to include aspects on money security features. This seminar seeks to empower ten to eleven year old pupils with the knowledge and understanding, skills and attitudes to:
• become financially literate and responsible from an early age
• make informed decisions when handling financial resources
• be of positive influence within their immediate family and amongst their peers
• differentiate between authentic money and counterfeit money
This seminar targets Year 6 pupils because at this early age, pupils are most likely to start having greater access to financial resources such as pocket money and monetary gifts while at the same time may become more vulnerable to conflicting media messages.
