Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission’s ‘Te whai hui - kia ora Sorted in Schools’ programme is running the Money Jam competition as New Zealand’s Global Money Week initiative. Students can win a share of $10,000 and get real life experience creating a budget, designing an event, and giving the winnings back to their local community.

The Te Ara Ahunga Ora Director for Financial Capability said that understanding how to manage money and a budget, with support from teachers and Sorted in Schools, provides a fantastic opportunity to develop this essential skill at a young age.

Students do not often get to use the skills and knowledge they are being taught while at school, but Money Jam gives students this chance.

Overall, Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission delivered 733,339 ad impressions and 288,495 video plays (1,810 Web Sessions) with a 2.84% Video completion rate.

Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission targeted 38 EME schools and 16 MME Kura.
