Get ready for our annual ATAR economics conference designed to elevate your revision game and prepare year 12 students for success! We’re bringing together industry leaders to share their expert insights and knowledge with you.
We have an exciting line-up of speakers, including renowned economist Paul Bloxham (Chief Economist HSBC) and Steven Kemp (Chief WACE marker and author of your textbook).
The conference will cover strategies for success, data interpretation, monetary and fiscal policy, tactics for section 2 of the exam, and how to master those tricky multiple-choice questions. Alongside captivating speakers and interactive workshops, your ticket includes morning tea, snacks, merchandise, and car parking.
We recommend students register as soon as possible—our event sold out last year! Registrations will close on Monday, 7th July at 12:00 pm, unless sold out prior.
