8 8 Case study – Janelle Classification: Public Assistant Coordinator STEMM - Supporting Teenagers with Education, Mothering and Mentoring Janelle helped coordinate a program for teenage mothers. “Very few of our students have any savings and are in great need of practical advice and education on handling their money…many of them live on their own having to manage rent, education and other weekly living costs and are struggling with debt.” “MoneyMinded online from a teacher’s perspective is a great resource to enable students to engage in financial literacy and retain what they have seen and heard. It empowers the student to take control of their learning by interacting with the program to answer questions relating to themselves and their own money use.”
