Corowa High School will implement a new resilience program as a result of a $10,000 grant from the Commonwealth Bank.
Commonwealth Bank Corowa Branch Manager Donna Hussey and Commonwealth Bank Area Manager for Riverina NSW Josh Walker presented the cheque at a school assembly on Wednesday.
In celebration of a 100-year legacy of giving, Commonwealth Bank employees are giving $10 million to community organisations, with 1000 Centenary Grants valued at $10,000.
Corowa High School is one of the first organisations to receive a Centenary Grant, with Corowa branch and employees nominating the school in recognition of the much-needed services it provides to the local community.
We are very appreciative and look forward to using the money to start a new program to develop student resilience. Sometimes students need a greater level of support when challenges arise, more so in the junior years. If they learn those skills early, then they are more likely to be successful.
Funding for the program is provided by the CommBank Foundation's employee giving program, which has been supporting Australians in need since 1917.
