Proud Sponsor of the Fitzroy Primary School Fete

The Community Bank Clifton Hill – North Fitzroy is proud to be the major sponsor of our upcoming Fitzroy Primary School Fete!

As a community-owned branch within the Bendigo Bank network, they are passionate about supporting the people, schools and organisations that make our inner-north such a wonderful place to live, learn and connect.

Over their 20 years, they have contributed $33,853 to Fitzroy Primary School, to support our classroom libraries and literacy programs, school library improvements, a multicultural kitchen garden, camp funding and other resources that enrich learning and create opportunities for our students.

Across the inner north, Community Bank Clifton Hill - North Fitzroy has reinvested more than $6 million into local organisations, programs and initiatives that make a real difference. The more people who choose to bank locally, the more they can reinvest into our Community.

‘We’re delighted to support the Fitzroy Primary School 2026 Fete and wish you a fantastic day of fun, connection and celebration. Banking with us means profits are reinvested into our Community. Ask us about banking local!’ Rob Olney Community Bank Chair
