On the Money with Year 12 Economics

Year 12 Economics students turned theory into reality with a live podcast session that brought the global economy and leadership insights straight to their classroom.

Who says you need to leave the classroom to gain real-world economic insight?

Our Year 12 Economics students recently had the privilege of hearing from our Director of Business Services here at Heathdale, Andrew Ballesty, who brought their Unit 4 studies on aggregate demand, fiscal and monetary policy and the global economy to life.

In a creative “live podcast” format, Andrew shared insights into the current economic climate and offered a behind-the-scenes perspective on leadership and decision-making beyond the classroom.

Students described the session as fun, energising and insightful—a valuable chance to connect theory with real-world experience, right from their desks.
