Get involved in the School Banking program.
New Farm State School is excited to offer the Commonwealth Bank School Banking program to all students.
School Banking is a fun, interactive and engaging way for young Australians to learn about money and develop good savings habits. Children who deposit money into their Youthsaver account through School Banking earn Dollarmites tokens, which they can save up and redeem for exciting rewards.
The rewards available during 2019 are:
* Scented Stackable Highlighters
* Snowy Origami Set
* Icicle Slapband Ruler
* Yeti Fluffly Notepad
* Arctic Owl Fluffy Keyring
* Scratch Art Cards
* Water Skimming Bounce Ball
* Polar Pencils & Pencil Toppers
School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. Our school receives a Regular Savers Contribution of $5 for every 10 deposits processed per student as well as an Annual Contribution which is based on the number of students who made at least one School Banking deposit in the prior year.
Getting involved in School Banking is easy!
All you need to get involved in the School Banking program is a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account. You can open an account for your child in one of two ways:
- Online
Visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking and click on the link to open a Youthsaver account.
- In branch
Visit a Commonwealth Bank branch with identification for yourself and your child, like a driver’s licence and birth certificate.
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 every Friday (except for the first and last Friday of each term). Each week you just need to hand in your bank book between 8.15 - 8.45am outside the Library.
If you would like to know more about School Banking, please ask for a 2019 School Banking program information pack at banking on Friday morning or visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking
For further information, please contact Belinda Hill on bjyates12@hotmail.com
It’s back…… Bouncing Back …… It’s back ….. Bouncing Back
On….. Sunday 26 May 2019 9am – 1pm
The Bouncing Back Handball festival is back! And this year we are trying to smash our previous attendance record of 200 participants!
There will be competitions for younger kids and an open competition for big kids (and grownups who want to bring out their inner-kid). Registrations are open from 8:45am, players are encouraged to arrive on time to avoid missing out. Dress ups for non-players, there will be a jumping castle, art activities and the Rotary Club of New Farm will provide a sausage sizzle.
The Handball Festival is brought to life by an amazing group of volunteers, community partners and Communify Queensland’s New Farm Neighbourhood Centre with financial support from Councillor Vicki Howard and Ray White New Farm.
Be there or lose your square.
