In 2025 we became a Children’s University learning destination, joining a network of Tasmanian places which offer opportunities for young participants to engage in informal learning.
Children’s University is a program delivered by the University of Tasmania’s Peter Underwood Centre, which aims to raise educational engagement and outcomes for primary school-aged children.
As part of becoming a Learning Destination, we co-designed some activities and a workbook for young people around a variety of financial literacy topics.
