I think we should get help from school counsellor! What do you think? 

I agree!

They decide to visit Mrs. Brown the school counsellor to ask for  help with their limited budget.

Mrs.Brown teaches them Edward de Bono's six thinking hats technique and advices them to use this technique for the 'Success Day'.

Students created colourful hats and started discussing their budget each time from a different point of view.
