Students get insight into finances during Global Money Week

Evolve Lending & Finance Managing Director Mark Stevenson represented the business during Global Money Week 2016, visiting Caroline Chisholm College and St Mary MacKillop Primary School to deliver financial literacy sessions. Under the theme ‘Take Part, Save Smart,’ students were introduced to foundational money management principles relevant to every stage of life.

Financial literacy rarely makes its way into the classroom, yet it underpins almost every major decision adults face. That’s why Mark Stevenson, Managing Director at Evolve Lending & Finance, took the opportunity during Global Money Week 2016 to speak directly with students at Caroline Chisholm College and St Mary MacKillop Primary School.

With the event’s theme of ‘Take Part, Save Smart’ as a backdrop, Mark tailored his message to resonate across age groups, connecting the dots between pocket money and pay cheques, part-time jobs and long-term savings goals. The sessions were designed not just to inform, but to make finance feel accessible and relevant.

Mark’s approach was grounded in personal experience. Having navigated his own financial learning curve without early guidance, he was candid with students about the value of starting good habits sooner rather than later, and the cost of not doing so.

The Global Money Week program, which engages young people worldwide through themes of saving, entrepreneurship, and financial independence, provided the ideal platform for this kind of community-focused outreach and a reflection of Evolve Lending & Finance’s commitment to financial education beyond the office.

Mark Stevenson’s participation in Global Money Week reflects Evolve Lending & Finance’s belief that financial education should start early, and that good advice has the power to change trajectories.
