The program was created in partnership with the University of Newcastle (theory) and Greater Bank (practical). It can be completed as a stand-alone program or as part of the Children’s University where it is a credited learning destination.

The program consists of four video lessons and editable pdf workbooks for students to complete during those lessons. The video lessons provide the solutions to the workbook activities and are presented by University of Newcastle student ambassadors who are passionate about helping others to better understand money.

These lessons teach the concept of money in a fun way with age appropriate activities. They cover earning money, saving money, and money maths (including spending wisely and receiving change).

At the completion of lesson four a Certificate of Completion can be downloaded and printed.
