Consumer Rights and Responsibilities Narrative
Stacey was a teenager in Melbourne and at age 15, her mum gave her a mobile phone with
$20 a month for a prepaid phone card which bought $120 worth of texts, calls and data.
That’s plenty of credit, right?
Well there was just one problem. Stacey loved ring tones. One day when Stacey was
watching TV she saw an advertisement which said that if she texted a number, a free
ringtone would be sent to her phone.
That sounded like a pretty good deal, so Stacey texted in, and sure enough she received a
free ringtone which made her pretty happy. In fact, the phone company that she texted
started sending her a ringtone every day, which she thought was fantastic!
That is, until she ran out of credit on her phone 3 weeks before the end of the month.
Stacey couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong until she saw the ad again. At the bottom of
the ad in very small text it explained that just to text the number cost her $10. And that by
texting the number she had agreed to receive daily ringtones at $10 a pop!
Stacey panicked. She kept buying more credit so that she could call her friends and use her
phone, but the ringtones kept coming and her credit rarely lasted more than 1 or 2 weeks.
A few weeks passed and Stacey’s mum realised how much money Stacey was spending on
her phone. She wasn’t pleased at all, and Stacey got into a lot of trouble.
[Open up for brief discussion.]
This is an example of a scam – you think you’re getting a good deal, but there are lots of
hidden costs involved. What could Stacey do to try to fix the situation?
[Accept answers such as: cancel the ringtone service; call the phone company; text ‘STOP’ to
the number.]
What could Stacey have done to stop this from happening in the first place?
[Accept answers such as: carefully read advertisements and deals to understand what
you’re really signing up for; check terms and conditions before you buy.]
[Close off discussion.]

Hidden Costs
Hint: You might want to refer to the table on the
following page!
Emily had a budget of $250. She wanted to buy an MP3
player online.
Online, she found MP3 players for three prices. One for $180, one for $200 and
one for $210. Emily decided to buy the cheapest player.
Which player did she chose? _____________________________________
Emily was very pleased with herself until… the invoice was sent to her and
included a $70 delivery charge!
How much would she ACTUALLY have to pay? _______________________
Emily then realised that her player didn’t come with a warranty included, so
she would have to spend another $20 on the warranty.
If she wants the warranty, how much will she pay? ____________________
How far over budget is she? ______________________________________
Emily went back online to check the other deals. The $200 player had a $20
delivery charge and warranty for $20.
The $210 player came with free delivery and warranty included.
So, which was ACTUALLY the best deal in the end? _____________________

that money can be saved or spent.
Materials Required
- Paper
- Pencils/Pens
- One copy of the Budget worksheet per student
- Optional: one copy of the Budget and Savings Plan worksheet per student, per week
- Get students to construct a simple budget that details how they plan to spend their
pocket money that week.
- When making the budget students should consider:
o What items they need and what they want
o How much they want to save each week
o Whether there are any large expenses that they need to plan for
o They must be realistic about how much they will spend on ‘wants.’ It is not
realistic that they will save every cent, and spend nothing on treats for
themselves
- At the end of the week, get students to review their expenses and determine
whether they were able to stick to the budget they had created.
Activity Extension/Alternatives
- For homework, ask students to bring in a picture, and find the cost, of an item under
$100 that they want to save for.
-
-
-
For the first week of the activity, students record their expenses in the Budget
worksheet without attempting to save money.
After the first week, get students to review their list of expenses and identify ways to
reduce their expenses. Examples include:
o Bring a packed lunch from home
o Buy treats in bulk from the supermarket rather than from the canteen
o Leave money at home so that they’re not tempted to spend it
Students set a single goal for the week that will allow them to then reduce their
expenses, and detail this on the Savings Plan worksheet.
Again, they record their expenses for the week on the Savings Plan worksheet.
Following the second week, students compare their expenses from the first week
and their expenses from the second. They determine how much they saved, and how
much extra money they saved compared to week 1, and record this on the Savings
Plan worksheet.
Students repeat this activity weekly, and keep track of their savings. Students can
calculate how long it will take to reach their savings goal.

worksheets per student, or per group of students (worksheets provided after this
activity)
- Materials required to run a class business (this will vary from class to class)
- Pencils/Pens

present to the school (if they are in Year 6) or a charitable donation.
- Get students to discuss ways that they could raise the money as a class.
-
-
-
Students should consider the costs associated with running a business, as well as the
issues they should take into account when running a business including:
o Cost of materials. Note: students should research this option to ensure that
they have an accurate idea of how much materials will cost.
o Pricing their goods/services at a price that people are willing to pay (for
example, no one would pay $20 for a glass of lemonade).
o Whether people will want the good/service that they are providing (for
example, people would not pay for mud pies).
o Starting capital – how much should students spend on materials before they
start to earn money?
o Advertising – would posters or fliers around the school help sell their items?
How much should they spend on posters?
o Profit – students must sell goods and services for more than they cost to
make.
o The number of items that must be sold to make a profit.
o Other markets that the business will be competing against.
o How they will keep track of their money.
Following the class discussion, either as a class, or in groups, fill out the Business Plan
Brainstorm worksheet
Using the completed Business Plan Brainstorm worksheet/s, decide upon a class
business model. Ideas for businesses that the students could engage in include:
o Selling frozen fruit kebabs (i.e. Frozen fruit cubes on a skewer)
o A chocolate drive
o A car wash
o A cake stall
o A second hand goods stall/garage sale
Fill in the Business Plan worksheets as a class.
Run the business over a period of days or weeks.
Have students keep track of expenses using the Business Accounts worksheets.
Following the activity, get students to discuss their fundraiser and determine
whether it was successful or not. Students should consider:
o How much money did the business make?
o How much money did they expect the business to make?
o How much work was involved in running the business? Was the amount of
money earned proportional to the amount of effort that was put into the
business?
o What was their greatest accomplishment?
o If they were to do it again, what would they change?
o Is there a way that they can increase income without doing much more
work? (For example, are there additional products that they could sell at the
same time or additional people who want their services)?
Activity Extension/Alternatives
- Before deciding upon a business plan, have students divide into smaller groups and
develop a number of business plans.
- Get students to conduct a school-wide survey to understand which products will
likely be the most popular and how much people would be willing to pay for
products.
- Using this research get students to decide on the best fundraising idea.
