The Bank of Ireland Money Smarts Challenge has been designed in conjunction with business studies teachers and Financial Wellbeing experts.

Students will first learn about the core elements of financial wellbeing like spending, saving, earning, credit and debt.

The second part of the day will put their new skills to the test in a fun and interactive quiz with eight rounds of money-related questions and conundrums. Two schools with the highest score from each regional final will compete in the Grand Final.

Each school can put forward up to three teams for one of eighteen regional finals hosted by James Patrice which will take place between November 2019 and February 2020.

Principals and teachers can find out more about the competition and register to take part by visiting boi.com/moneysmarts. Early registration is advised as places are limited.
