Vane Sopoaga from Porirua Wellington has entered 6,000 classrooms and taught financial literacy to over 163,000 students as part of the ASB Getwise program. The workshop is delivered all over Aotearoa and focuses on teaching children how to save, spend and use their money.
Sopoaga, a performing arts major, remembers his first days teaching in front of primary school children. “I was super nervous and anxious because I had to learn all these scripts and present it. But my performing arts background kicked in and I was able to make that connection with the kids.”
