Economics & Well-Being Assembly | Grade 12 (Economics)

Our Grade 12 students led a powerful and thought-provoking assembly focused on becoming smart, aware, and responsible consumers in today’s highly persuasive marketplace.

Through humor, creative skits, real advertisements, and interactive challenges, students uncovered how emotions, social pressure, and marketing tactics often influence our spending decisions without us even realizing it. By exposing common advertising tricks—such as urgency tactics, emotional persuasion, and exaggerated claims—the assembly encouraged critical thinking, wise money management, and informed financial choices.

More than an economics lesson, this session highlighted the strong link between financial literacy and overall well-being, empowering students to stay in control of their decisions rather than being controlled by marketing.
