Last week, we were delighted to welcome Cathy Strain from Bank of Ireland to St Paul’s to deliver an engaging Financial Wellbeing Talk to our Year 13 enrichment pupils.

The session covered key topics such as:

✅ Spending & Saving – Smart spending and healthy saving habits
✅ Earning & Income – Understanding payslips and taxes
✅ Credit & Debt – Managing debt responsibly
✅ Risk & Protection – Strategies to protect against financial risks
✅ Financial Decision Making – Goal setting and budgeting

Cathy also introduced the exciting Money Smarts Challenge, which our pupils will have the opportunity to take part in during the new year!

A huge thank you to Cathy and Bank of Ireland for supporting our pupils in developing essential life skills.
