The School Bank

From the Film Australia Collection. Made by the National Film Board 1951. Directed by Lionel Trainor. School children throughout Australia hold thousands of savings accounts with the Commonwealth Bank. This film explains how their money is cared for and used by the bank for great National works, finance of business, building and a hundred other things as well. Several children are taken on a visit to the Commonwealth Bank; they see the tellers at work, the complicated method of book-keeping and the placing of all the cash in the great vaults under the bank. They hear the story of the bank as told by a bank officer who acts as their guide.
