It was a pleasure to present cheques to Cooloola-Noosa Life Education Association and Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club on behalf of the Commonwealth Bank Staff Community Fund. Cooloola-Noosa Life Education Association received $1,604 to support Cyberwise, an education program about cybersafety for 4,000 primary school children aged eight to 12. Using animation, role playing and problem solving, these interactive workshops build positive relationships and support responsible behaviour online as well as presenting strategies for personal safety in the digital space. Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club received $10,000 to help purchase a road trailer to store and transport beach and surf equipment. It will also provide a training manual and video for the Noosa Seahorse Nippers, a program that gives around 70 intellectually and physically disabled children the opportunity to develop beach and water skills. The fund was formed in 1917 and is Australia’s longest running employee contribution program. Current and retired staff donate to the fund and the bank provides matching contributions.
