Bank South Pacific (BSP) along with a small team from Brisbane Broncos today visited Paradise College with the aim of introducing kids to financial literacy in its financial literacy program.
BSP’s Regional Trainer Naomi Sion, explained that this initiative targets school children in Grade 4 teaching them how to save money at an early age.
“We want children to have that savings culture embedded in them while they are still young.”
“This will help to minimize any issues they may have with saving money in the future when they’re older.”
She further explained the arrangement between BSP and Brisbane Broncos in relation to BSP’s financial literacy program.
“We are in community partnership, they also run their financial literacy programs in Brisbane.”
“They support us in merchandise as well as shared their experiences with the children in PNG.”
Sion stated that the next school they plan on visiting will be the Port Moresby International School (POMIS).
