Commonwealth Bank School Banking

The School Banking program provides children with an opportunity to deposit money into their Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account at school each week. The program is about how often your child makes deposits, not how much they deposit.

To encourage regular savings behaviour the program offers an exciting Rewards Program. Every deposit earns your child a silver Dollarmites token, and once they’ve collected 10 tokens they can redeem them for a reward.

The rewards available during 2016 are:

• Flying Snake Tail
• Wildlife Writer Set
• Mud Splat Handball
• Outback Pat Bag Tag
• Backtrack Eraser Pen
• Jump and Skip Rope
• Bush Fly Fan
• Wriggly Glow Worm

School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. Our school receives $5 when a student makes their first ever School Banking deposit and 5% on every deposit made through the school (to a maximum of $10 per individual deposit).Getting involved in School Banking is easy! You can get involved in the School Banking program by opening a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account at your local branch.

All you need to bring is your current identification as well as your child’s birth certificate. If you are an existing Commonwealth Bank customer and have NetBank, you can open an account online.

If your child has an existing Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account they can start banking straight away.

They just need to bring their deposit in every week on School Banking day using their Dollarmites deposit wallet.School Banking day is Monday.

If you would like to know more about School Banking, please ask for a 2016 School Banking program information pack from the school office.

The 'Buddy Bench'

As a ‘KidsMatter’ School we aim to provide a positive community; one that is founded on respectful relationships and a sense of belonging and inclusion.

One of our latest KidsMatter School initiatives has been the introduction of the ‘Buddy Bench’. You may have seen it in the Junior School Playground. The aim of the ‘Buddy Bench’ is to provide students who may not have anyone to play with, a meeting place.

Teachers have discussed the use of the ‘Buddy Bench’ with their students, and also what they can do if they see someone sitting on the bench. Put simply, the ‘Buddy Bench’ is:

• A place to sit when you can’t find anyone to play with.
• A place to sit and decide what looks interesting to play in the playground.
• A place to include people in your play and make new friends.
• A place to say ‘YES’ to people who ask you to play.
