The ETAWA annual review of the 2024 Economics ATAR Examination was another great success. Congratulations again to our high-performing schools and a special thank you to our 2024 David King Scholarship winner, Emma Dawbin, for her presentation. As always, Steven Kemp offered some invaluable insights into how the Year 12 students performed in each question, highlighting key areas for teachers to focus on. For access to his slides, they are available on the event page.
The ETAWA Members Survey is now open for 2025. The executive committee is eager to hear from its past, current and future members about how ETAWA can best support Economics teachers. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we are looking forward to working with all our 2025 members in the year ahead. Survey closes end of February 2025.
Everyone is involved in the economy and Economics underpins all aspects of society. It is fundamental to understanding the world in which you live. Economics equips you with the knowledge, understanding and skills to make better economic and financial decisions which will improve your standard of living. Economic concepts are widely used in business and in government when making decisions.
The Curtin Economics Society, the WA Young Economists Network (WA YEN) and the WA Women in Economics Network (WA WEN) are proud to present
the upcoming free panel event - 'ECONOMICS: WHERE CAN IT TAKE YOU?'
Ever wondered where studying economics could lead you or what opportunities may come from undertaking work or research in the field. If so,
please come along to this free panel event which is open to everyone and will feature a line-up of eminent speakers who will share their
unique experiences, insights, tips and much more on the various and diverse career paths and vocational opportunities that an interest and
pursuit of economics can lead to.
Plus there'll be some free nibbles on offer to all event attendees, an opportunity for audience members to ask the panel questions and a
chance to also informally mingle, network and have further discussions (if you want to) after the formal event proceedings conclude.
The event will be moderated by Cassandra Winzar (Chief Economist, Committee for Economic Development Aust- CEDA) and will include the
following panel of speakers:
Come and learn about a career in economics, from some of the people that do it every day. Learn why economists have the tools to be CEOs, head up government departments, set interest rates or help us transition to a greener future. Learn why becoming an economist means every day of your career will be different, how you can influence others or even become a decision-maker yourself. ABE presents an event for high school students in year 10. Join us from 10:30am to 1pm on Wednesday 02 August, at EY, 11 Mounts Bay Road, Perth. We begin with a panel session featuring four economists discussing economics in the real world and what they do every day.
