Year 9 Commerce

Discover how financial choices affect individuals, whānau, and communities in this hands-on course. You'll learn to distinguish between wants and needs, explore the challenges of limited resources, and understand how Māori concepts like tauhokohoko (trade) and utu (barter) have shaped our economy. Through a fun, classroom-based "micro-economy," you will actively participate in making decisions, budgeting, and understanding the real-world impact of your choices.
