Grove Credit Union

After the October break our very own credit union – TARGET - will open for business. This is the first credit union to operate in a secondary school in Dundee and we hope that as many pupils as possible will take advantage of this opportunity to get into the habit of saving for their own ‘TARGET’.

Initially the credit union will be available for S6 pupils to encourage them to save for all the expenditure they will have, including Leavers Hoodies, Year Book and of course the Final Fling. However, before Christmas other year groups will have the opportunity to join the Credit Union and get into the saving habit!

The Credit Union is completely flexible and savers can choose to save as much or as little as they can afford. Collections will take place weekly but there is no obligation to deposit money every week. Also, when an individual leaves school they can transfer their account to Dundee Credit Union and continue to save for the future.

Pupils in S6 have been given the opportunity to apply for the position of Teller which will help them develop important life and employment skills.
