Finance Society in 6th form

If I wanted to start a finance society in my 6th form, what sort of things would I be expected to do? I've tried to find inspiration, but I'm not sure if inviting members of investment bankers is really in my range.

If anyone has any advice or any tips on what I could possibly include, please drop them down below.

Typical finance societies at universities tend to:

•

Do mock/paper trading simulations

•

Invite speakers from financial institutions - perhaps local mortgage advisors, financial advisors, stock brokers, etc.

•

Provide information on getting into finance e.g. professional qualifications

•

Provide a reading list of recommended finance related books

•

Occasionally talk about finance as an educational subject

Usually the topic of finance degrees doesn't come up.

I don't know what you specifically intend to achieve with the above, but let me know if there's anything in particular you want to know more about.
