“The kit was amazing - the students loved filling in the payslip and creating a character. The clips etc were good for the kids to watch. The part that became difficult and this may be because we are heading towards the end of the term, was that when it came to building their own tax spend as a staff, the students found it hard to connect their 'character' to reality. I could see this coming so adapted the lesson half way through to give a better understanding of the reality of the tax system.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I like the look of the kit and financial literacy is a key area in the Social Sciences.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) I would have to look at the resources carefully again and try to match them to a learning outcome. I would also have to a lot of pre-teaching before I could use the resources.

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? We have started teaching aspects of financial literacy and thought it would be a good addition to credit and debt.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) We would share it with the Commerce Department

“This is a well-designed and engaging resource that helped ākonga understand tax and employment. We used it with Year 10's in a programme that teaches about life skills so was particularly relevant as they are starting the conversations around getting jobs.”

“This was an amazing resource - it broke down tax and working life into something easy and manageable for the students (and me). The resources were beautifully created and really caught the student's attention and imagination. I am looking forward to doing it again with another group this year.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? Related to our larger financial literacy topic
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) Integrating more with the full financial literacy topic rather than as an add on at the end.

“Really good overview of the tax system and the different ways that tax is spent. Students enjoyed creating the back stories of the different people and thinking about the tax system - it was good way of getting students to think outside their immediate experience. They struggled to write the tax story for the whole supermarket.”
