Tenison Woods College 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 Youth Saver account through School Banking earn Dollarmites tokens, which they can save up and redeem for exciting rewards.

The rewards available during 2018 are:

• Twister Power Handball
• Secret Scratch Pad
• Sparkle Glitter Pens
• Glow Light
• Mighty Boom Handball
• Heat Reactor Pencils
• Slushie Maker Cup
• Zoom Flying Disc

School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our College. Tenison Woods College 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.

School banking day is Tuesday. Each week, students will need to take their bank book into the classroom ready for collection.

We will be holding a School Banking Information Session at the College:

• Date: Friday 4 May 2018
• Time: Following the Junior School assembly, approximately 3.00pm
• Location: Barrie Holmes Stadium

Please attend to find out more about the School Banking program and how your child can get involved.

If you are interested in opening a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account for your child you can visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking and click on the link to open a Youthsaver account. A School Banking representative will be available at the Information Session to show you how you can do this. In order to verify yourself and your child, you will need your driver’s licence and your child’s birth certificate, but if you don’t have these with you on the day, you can complete verification online at home.

For further information, you can contact Emily Baker at the Mount Gambier Commonwealth Bank.
