For schools

School society

Students use a treasury, a market, a register, a parliament, elections, and a dispute desk. They take part. They are not only reading about how those things work.

Not every student starts a business. There is a place for makers, numbers, speaking, process, and for a citizen who only votes and buys. Classroom money is not Australian dollars. A Student Business Number is not an ABN. This is practice in adult work. It is not a promise of a job.

What a class can do in one period

1. A student registers a small enterprise and receives a Student Business Number. That number is only for the school.
2. The business appears on the school's Business Register. Other students can look it up.
3. They list something on the Marketplace, priced in classroom money, called LC.
4. The student on duty as officer records the sale. They complete the record. They do not create money.
5. A small fee or tax is paid to the Treasury. The enterprise's own books show the sale.
6. If someone disagrees, the Dispute Desk holds the order until a decision is written.
