We have learnt how to budget our money and how to manage our income efficiently while making compromises to keep us away from debt.
At the commencement of the topic we were all given booklets. They helped give us a thorough idea on what we all will eventually go through. Inside the booklets were templates which each of us used to write a C.V. Writing these as well as our budget and career/study information page about what our desires are gave us a realistic perspective for the future.
Miss Ross invited Anna Clark and Elysia Churchwood (both previous Hurunui College students) into our class and we also had a wicked skype call with a very intelligent vet, Dr Emily Ryder. They all very kindly spoke to us about how their lives have changed and transitioned since high school and the different paths they took to get where they are.
Anna Clark is currently starting her Masters Degree at Otago University, we wish her all the best with this! It was also great to have Beth Hicks, Amber Sowden, Crystal Reed and Jake Topp, who are current Year 11 students come into class and tell us all about their experiences with Year 11 and NCEA Level 1 so far.
A huge thank you to Miss Ross for providing us with the awesome subject and outlook! Written by Ebony Varnam and Hannah Evans.
