S6 Getting by on a Student Budget Workshop
Ross High School, East Lothian
If you would like to sign up for this workshop please email me on claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk. The meeting time is 1.40pm at the LEAPS office. Alternatively we can also pick up Queen Margaret volunteers on campus on our way there. Please just let me know when you sign up if you would prefer get a lift from the LEAPS office, from Queen Margaret Uni or if you would prefer to meet us at the school. For a summary of the S6 workshop please see below;
During the S6 workshop you will be working with a small group of S6 pupils (16-17 year olds) on a student case study. The pupils in your group have to discuss and work out with the aid of a calculator, what the case study student’s expenditure is for a typical week at university. They also have to discuss and figure out what income their case study student has available to them during the academic year to pay for their student lifestyle. Your role is to make sure the group is working together, discussing the case study and reaching agreement before writing down their answers. More importantly, we would also like you to share with your pupils your own experiences of getting by on a student budget.
