Get Wise

Yesterday the Year 8's went into the auditorium and Jeremy from ASB visited us and told us about Get Wise. This is about learning how to get money and how to save money. We all brainstormed how to make some money doing chores, neighborhood jobs, etc. We also learnt about interest, which is when you give money to the bank and the bank gives you extra money for trusting them with your money. We also learnt that most CEO's of big businesses started off in supermarkets either as trolley boys or shelf fillers. He said to work hard as well, because people are always watching you when you work, like your supervisors and he also told us about his friend Tui, who started off as a trolley boy and now owns two supermarkets.
