The program involves a trained professional facilitator, supported by Commonwealth Bank staff members visiting your school to engage years 9 to 11 students in a structured session aimed at increasing their financial skills in their daily lives.

The workshop has been designed to be delivered to groups of up to 30 students. A minimum of two and a maximum of six workshops per day is required to maximise travel time for facilitators and Bank Staff. We like to deliver 4 or 5 workshops per day, where possible.

An Educator Resource package will be sent to your school to assist with pre and post preparation for the workshop.
