A group of our Transition Year students are involved in the AIB Build-a-Bank Competition. Please see below for some information about the bank: ~The A.I.B. Build-a-Bank challenge involves six TY students who must set up a branch of A.I.B. in their school. ~The students must set up a themed school bank and encourage fellow students to open both savings and current accounts. ~The competition has been running nationwide for the past 15 years and girls from Dominican College have been taking part for the past number of years. ~This year the bank name is ‘Beauty and the Bank’ and so the overall theme is ‘Beauty and the Beast’. ~The girls have decided to work alongside The Little Princess Trust and The Irish Cancer Society as it is very fitting with their princess theme. ~Each Wednesday the bank will be open in Room 34 and an A.I.B bank representative will be there. The students running the bank, along with the bank representative, will collect money from students each week. The bank representative will then bring this money straight to the bank where it will be lodged. ~Once the competition is over at the end of the year, people will still be able to use their accounts, like you would use a normal bank account.
