GetWise primary
Our primary programme
Specifically tailored to each individual age group, our award-winning ASB GetWise primary programme blends teacher resourcing capability alongside world-class face-to-face content in entertaining, educative, and exciting ways. Our professionally trained facilitators tailor their delivery to the individual needs of each class in order to attain maximum impact while maintaining the key financial literacy concepts based on the New Zealand curriculum, the Financial Capabilities Framework, and global best practice in financial literacy education.
All resources and workshops are completely free and are not used to sell or promote banking products or services. Find out what each workshop offers below:
Year 3 – 4: Coach cash
At this age we provide one free 45-minute face-to-face professionally facilitated workshop per class with accompanying teacher and parent resource activities and games. Students get to meet ‘Coach Cash’ who whips Year 3 and 4 students into action to become lean, mean, and financially fit ‘Cashletes’ by learning about different forms of money and where it comes from, before sending them on an assault course of earning with the dreaded ‘Chore-athon’, and the value of patience and smart-thinking with the ‘Supermarket’ challenge.
Workshop concepts include:
