Huge congratulations to the young leaders from the schools that took part, and a big shoutout to the incredible teachers and facilitators who supported them. These students have received training and support to become wellbeing leaders in their schools, ready to lend a listening ear and connect their peers to the support services they need. 🌟

We believe it's important to have a collaborative and coordinated effort to tackle cyber concerns, so we're equipping Team ASB with the latest insights and resources to get them one step ahead this Cyber Smart Week and beyond 🛡🔒   This week we held an ASB Cyber Day for our people to level up on their understanding of ways to keep themselves and our customers stay safe online, especially in the world of complex and sophisticated fraud and scams and AI.    Need more info on how to be #CyberSmart?

Celebrating Macawa ni Vosa Vakaviti - Fiji Language Week 🇫🇯✨   Va, who’s part of our ASB vuvale (family) talks to us about why it’s important to celebrate this week. “Our language is a core part of Fijian identity, it helps us stay connected – even if we are far away from home. This week brings Fijians together to celebrate our heritage and I’m really happy to see our workplaces get behind us to make us and our culture feel seen.” says Va.   Va is on a continuous learning journey with the Fijian culture and language and is really proud to be an advocate for her heritage. Her favourite phrase is “Me da veilomani ka cakacaka vata ena duavata”, meaning “Let us love one another and work together in unity.” 💛   Tell us about your connection to the Fijian language in the comments below.   #FijiLanguageWeek
