We are delighted to announce the opening of NatWest School Bank on the 11th January 2005. The bank will be operated by students trained by NatWest staff and supervised by a NatWest cashier. All students and teachers are invited to use the bank and application forms are available on request.
The student bankers are to be trained by NatWest in Customer Service and Administration. They will then be offered the opportunity to do a work placement at the bank which will possibly lead to employment in the future.
If you are interested in this great opportunity, please contact Mrs Holden at the Business Centre
Sixth-form students have set up two companies under the Young Enterprise Programme and are on their way to making their fortunes! (Well, hopefully!) The Companies are called STARS and Young Creations-you may have seen their posters around school.
The Young Enterprise scheme is worldwide and our students' Companies will be in competition with school and college Companies from all over the UK and possibly the world!
They presented their products for sale at the NEC Clothes Show on the International Station Concourse in December 2004 and are looking forward to attending many more trade fairs in the next few months.
Today's complex world means that people have to be far more aware of what is happening to their money and how to make the most of it.
Here at Bournville we make sure all our students understand the basics of personal finance, e.g. how to operate a bank account and how credit and debit cards work, how interest rates work and, most importantly, how to stay out of unwanted debt!
The whole school is included in the Personal Finance programme using materials designed and supplied by Face 2 Face with Finance, the educational arm of the NatWest bank.
Students follow the programme through Year 7 to 11 and receive a certificate for their progress file at the end.
Sixth-formers can follow a programme dealing with Managing Student Finance for when they go to University.
