Apples for NAB staff

Apples for NAB staff

Staff at NAB headquarters Docklands were handed apples by Newport Lakes Primary School students as they arrived for work on July 3.

The primary school band and members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra also played for staff on the day to mark the launch of the School’s First program.

Schools First is a $5 million annual awards initiative for Australian schools designed to reward schools that are in partnership with their communities.

Schools First is a partnership between NAB, Foundation for Young Australians and Australian Council for Educational Research.

The collaboration between the school and the orchestra was an illustration of a partnership whereby the orchestra provides the school with access to instruments and musicians to teach the students.

The school has not previously been able to teach music and will be applying for Schools First awards this year.
