The program, STEP UP: Playconomics High School Outreach, introduced the students to the world of economics through a digital game pitting them in a competition against students from across the state.
Professor Isabella Dobrescu, the Deputy Head of the UNSW Business School and Professor Alberto Motta from the UNSW Business School attended the College Assembly on Tuesday to address the students and present the awards to the prize winners from the College. In his energetic address Professor Motta encouraged the audience to consider taking Economics as a subject. He reiterated the importance of Economics as a core of our being as a society and, if the students wished to make a change in the world, taking Economics was the subject they would need to start the journey.
The following girls were presented their certificates, monetary prizes and prize packs for their performance in the competition.
