best gymnast of level 5 Open in all of South Australia!

Ever heard of the Festival of Music? Well, did you know that

Anushka H. was in the Festival of Music Orchestra for the

audition, but she had to attend 6 practices just for it and on

top of that, Anushka went to 2 of our own choir rehearsals

and a performance! Wow that's tiring!

Get involved in the School Banking program. Edwardstown Primary 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 2017 are:

Cyber Handball Colour Change Markers 3D Chalk Set Tablet Case

Smiley Emoji Keyring Volt Handball Pencil + Tech Case Epic Earphones

Our school receives $5 when a student makes their first ever School Banking de-

posit and 5% on every deposit made through the school (to a maximum of $10

per individual deposit).

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:

1. Online

Visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking and click on the link to open a Youthsaver account.

2. In branch

Visit a Commonwealth Bank branch with identification for yourself and your child, like a driver’s licence and birth

certificate.

School Banking day is Thursday. Each week you need to place your deposit wallet in the grey banking bag found

in each classroom.

If you would like to know more please ask for a 2017 School Banking program information pack from the school

office or visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking .
