Student leaders have great ideas!

Congratulations! You're the parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend of a 2025 student school leader.

School captain, house captain, arts leader, student school councillor, environmental leader.

These young people come into these roles for more than the badge – they're creative young people who have great ideas.

But how do you help them achieve their goals without access to funding to really make them worthwhile? Worthwhile for the student, the current cohort and to benefit future students.

We're on the lookout for exciting, innovative projects schools would love to activate but are held back by a lack of funding.

Teaching Initiatives Program (TIP) might be your answer!

Take a look at our TIP resources and see if an idea pitched by one of your students fits the criteria. Then, fill in an application!

You don't have to be a Bank First Member but you do have to be an educator at a Victorian school. If you're not a Member, we’re pretty confident that once you’ve come to learn about us – you'll want to join the bank created by teachers for teachers.

We're looking forward to receiving your TIP 2025 application!  Apply now.
