P&C
Welcome to 2021
What a start to the year we have had. We hope everyone had a lovely long break.
In the coming weeks we will be holding our AGM and we would love to see some new faces join our team. The date for the AGM will be announced soon.
Canteen
The canteen is open this year on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. We encourage ordering via Flexischools however we are still taking over the counter orders.
Like all schools we are not able to open our canteen without volunteers. If you are able to help out, even if it's only for a couple of hours, please email Jenni at
Would you like to have a say about what is on the menu? Why not join the P&C and join the Canteen Committee. We are always looking for new people to come on board and bring new ideas with them.

School Banking
Get involved in the School Banking Program
Arbor Grove Primary School P&C is excited to offer the Commonwealth Bank School Banking program to all students.
School Banking is a fun, interactive and engaging way to help teach your child the importance of saving. Children who deposit money into their Youthsaver account through School Banking will earn an exciting reward everytime they reach 10 deposits.
The rewards available during 2021 are:
|
o Terry Denton’s Activity Book |
o Scented Stackable Highlighters |
|
o Mini Soccer Ball (size 2) |
o Icicle Slapband Ruler |

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. For more information about contribution payments visit www.commbank.com.au/sbinfo
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 www.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 Tuesday. Each week you need to fill in your banking book and bring it to the canteen between 8.30am and 9am every Tuesday.
If you would like to know more about School Banking, please ask for a 2021 School Banking program parent guide from the school canteen or visit www.commbank.com.au/schoolbanking
