Financial Literacy - Hamilton East

Hamilton East students worked on developing their financial literacy skills using an inquiry approach. After building up their knowledge and discussions around various aspects, including wants and needs, one class looked at ways to support their sister school Hamilton Buikwe School in Uganda. The junior class looked at ways to support Rafiki Mwema in Kenya, raised money and sent letters, toys and stickers to the girls.
