Hapori

A Hapori course is a non-curricular focused learning experience driven by student passion. Rooted in the concept of "hapori" or community, these courses empower students to explore diverse topics outside the traditional curriculum, fostering collaboration and a sense of ownership over their learning. With a focus on self-directed exploration, Hapori courses encourage students to pursue their interests, ranging from creative arts to technology and social issues. This initiative reflects our commitment to cultivating well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also deeply connected to their passions and the broader community.

Description

This class is an opportunity to learn everything you always wanted to know about money, as well as things you should know but didn't know you need to know as an adult. We will look at the psychology of money, how to earn it, how much tax you need to pay and how to spend it wisely. We will also learn what interest is and why it matters, Kiwisaver and much more.

You are welcome and encouraged to ask any questions you have about money, and to share what you already know.

Whilst we will talk and do some exercises with numbers, this is not a Math class. I will also not be giving any financial advice.

The course is open to students of all ages and levels.
