Comments from students.

“Accounting is quite numeracy based and consists of preparing financial statements using Excel. It is a very enjoyable subject, and you learn a lot which will have an impact on your life in the future such as budgets, mortgages, GST etc.”

“Economics is about how we can make the biggest benefit on society. What we learn is extremely relevant to the wider world, making it a really interesting subject to study: especially if you are passionate about the government, society, and law.” 

“In Business it was fun to work as a group to make something, instead of just doing posters and stuff we made actual products and got to be like little entrepreneurs.”

 “I really like the independence we had and how we were left to figure it out and manage ourselves for the market day business, but I also like the digital work we did because I learnt quick ways to sum up numbers on Excel.”

‘It was fun learning about money and marketing because it might be useful in the future if I go into business.”
