Why study Economics?
Economics is a challenging and rewarding senior high school subject that will hone your skills in analysis, decision-making, and justifying your arguments.
Economics occurs in real-time, and helps us to understand the intended and unintended consequences of decisions made by ourselves, and the people, firms and governments around us.
Early economists were essentially the moral philosophers of their time, and I hope that through your study of economics you begin to question the world around you, and think of how you can contribute to a better future.
"I'll probably never study economics again, but at least I now understand what's happening on the news." (Will - past student, 2022)
