Three of our Year 11 Economics students recently participated in Budget – Judge It, an invitational program led by the Australian Treasury in collaboration with Canberra Girls Grammar School.
Over two days, they analysed and debated key issues in the 2025–26 Federal Budget, from climate change and housing affordability to the impact of an ageing population. They also visited Treasury, where they heard from Deputy Secretary Fiscal Policy, Mr Damien White, and spoke with directors from key economic policy areas.
It was an inspiring opportunity that brought classroom learning into direct conversation with real-world decision-making.
