Bank ready to be schooled on helping Tassie kids

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.

Activity sheets

From spotting the difference between needs and wants to understanding how digital money works, these activity sheets help kids explore the world of spending, saving, earning, and more.
