We are pleased to partner with the Christian Credit Union to offer bank accounts to our students, Kindergarten to Grade 12. This program not only assists youth with managing their money, the school benefits too!
CCU awards savings bonuses to students that meet their grade level goal, starting in Gr1 ($1 a month times their grade. For example Grade 4 student would deposit $4 a month and the CCU would give them a $0.50 bonus for each month they deposit a minimum of $4. Students in Grades 7-12 have the opportunity to gain bonuses of up to $2.50 if they save 5 times their grade level.) All bonuses awarded to students are also matched and donated to the school so it is a win-win for all.
Would you like to start saving and receiving bonuses? Open a youth bank account today! PLEASE NOTE: An appointment is required.
To open a Youth Banking Program account you will need to fill out an application, deposit $5 and have identification available. Please contact the Business Office by email to ask for more information. You can enrol at any time during the school year to participate!
