School Banking 

This Thursday 12th December will be our final school banking session for 2019. Thanks to all students who have participated in the program throughout the year. 

At assembly prior to banking we will be drawing the winners of our competition. Best of luck to everyone who have earned raffle tickets. 

Our trial of face-to-face banking this term has been wonderful for us getting to meet our banking students.

In 2020 we will return to purely using the drop box in the office for banking deposits. Please make sure books are dropped off before school and collected before the end of the day. 

We look forward to announcing our competition winners in next week's newsletter.
