Today Covenant Christian School had the opportunity to take part in a conference call with local MP, Jason Falinski who is our federal member for Mackellar. Mr Falinski was talking to our Year 11 and Year 12 Business Studies and Economics students, concerning the impacts of COVID-19 on Australian business and economy.
The students were able to ask Mr Falinski a range of questions including:
- taxation reform
- pre-COVID-19 economy versus post COVID-19 economy outlook
- the Government's plans to ease Australia out of the recession
- Australia/China trade relations
- the possibility of maintaining economic growth whilst being environmentally stable
- the impacts of Job Seeker and Job Keeper
The opportunity provided students with a tangible connection between their chosen electives and a real world application of their studies.
The class engaged with the future challenge facing Australians and we are appreciative of the insights provided by Mr Falinski.
