School Banking temporarily unavailable while a new School Banking Co-ordinator is found.

The Commonwealth Bank School Banking program will be temporarily unavailable at our school while we search for a new School Banking Co-ordinator.

The program requires a small amount of a volunteer’s time one day per week to be the School Banking Co-ordinator. The Co-ordinator facilitates the banking as well as the distribution of School Banking rewards and is provided with support around how to run the program for the Commonwealth Bank. If you are interested in volunteering for this great program, please let the school office know.
