Many schools across Australia now offer the MakingCents program and thousands of kids are already developing a sound understanding of money.

The best way for children to learn is when school activities are discussed and acted upon at home too. In this way parents can support their child's learning through the real application of every day activities, such as shopping. Being involved with your child's education is rewarding for both you and your child and this site offers many tips and activities in our 'Parents and Children' section.

Does your child's school run the MakingCents financial literacy program? If not, let them know about this site and the comprehensive teacher resources available. It is sure to benefit your child and all of their schoolmates in developing a healthy approach to money, which is one of our most valuable life skills.
