The Challenge will have a positive effect on the whole school. Having a bank on site will introduce students to the world of banking and encourage them to plan for their future and give them sound money management skills. AIB will provide full support in the running of the School Bank.
The four winning schools at each Regional Final will also receive a specially commissioned trophy.
