Year 9 Enterprise students recently welcomed Verity Quill from Women’s Legal Service Tasmania for an inspiring session on financial literacy and gender equality.

Through interactive activities, students explored the gender pay gap, prioritising expenses, and the importance of financial conversations at home and in relationships. Verity highlighted practical strategies such as creating a “safety fund” and understanding needs versus wants, while also addressing online safety and the influence of social media on spending. Her message was clear: smart money choices empower independence and equality. The session challenged students to think critically about money choices and empowered them to take control of their financial future with confidence.
