Middle School Bible Verse Week 3 St. Philip’s Christian College Achieving Success in Year 11 Tuesday 18th February, 2014 6:00 pm St Philip’s Christian College Theatre It is important that students and parents /carers attend this evening for the communication of Board of Studies information. Students are not required to wear uniform. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. Romans 8:37-39 MSG Please email the photos and a brief explanation to belle.holliday-williams@spcc.nsw.edu.au so that we can use them in our Parent <strong>Newsletter</strong>, Facebook page and also our 2014 YEARBOOK!!! Please, if possible, send the High Res copy as Facebook copies are not good enough quality for publications. 8
School Banking at St Philip’s! The Commonwealth Bank School Banking program is here! The School Banking program includes an exciting Rewards Program designed to encourage children to get into the habit of making regular saving. Every time your child makes a deposit at school they receive a silver coloured Dollarmites token. The first token will be received upon the first deposit at school. Once your child has individually saved 10 tokens they can redeem them for an exclusive Dollarmites reward item. Students will have lots of fun saving their tokens for these cool rewards items. School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. The school receives $5 when children make their first deposit at school and a commission on every deposit made through the School Banking program. Taking part in School Banking is easy. • 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 using their Dollarmites deposit wallet. If your child has misplaced their Dollarmites deposit book or deposit wallet, they can request a new one from either the local branch or contact the School Banking Co-ordinator. • If your child does not have a Youthsaver account, you can open one at any Commonwealth Bank branch, no forms to fill in! Please remember you will need to take in ID for you and your child (Birth Certificate / Driver’s License). Alternatively, if you are an existing Commonwealth Bank customer with access to NetBank you can apply online. Another option is to download a paper-based application form from commbank. com.au/schoolbanking. Please note this option may take up to 2 weeks before a Dollarmites wallet and deposit book is sent to your home address to start banking at school. 2014 UPDATE Please note that banking is carried out each Monday by parent volunteers. All students are responsible for handing their bank books to their classroom teacher on Monday mornings. If for some reason their book is not handed in, the school banking coordinators are unable to process a deposit for that week and no tokens will be awarded. We are unable to make up extra deposits the following week and can only process one deposit per week. At the start of a calendar year, all tokens up to a maximum of 9, which have previously been unredeemed, will be carried over and can be used to order new rewards. However the commendation system starts from scratch at the start of a calendar year. For example: • Bronze - 10 deposits in a calendar year • Silver - 20 deposits in a calendar year • Gold - 30 deposits in a calendar year • Special Commendation - will be awarded at the end of the Term Dates 2014 Term 1: 29/1/2014 - 11/4/2014 Term 2: 29/4/2014 - 27/6/2014 Term 3: 21/7/2014 - 19/9/2014 Term 4: 7/10/2014 - 5/12/2014 School finishes at 3.00pm on Friday 6th December for all students. year to any students who have banked each week for the entire school year (This will commence from week 4 of term 1, ensuring students have enough time to set up an account). New and exciting rewards will be available this year. Please note that once a student places an order, it can take up to 4 weeks for the stock to be received by the banking co-ordinator. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Banking in Middle School Please note, that the school banking program is available to all Middle School students. We ask that students place their bank books in the locked safety box located on Mrs James’s desk each Monday morning. Please see Mrs James for more information or contact the School Banking Co-ordinator: Emmah Moore 0425 156 399 or mymoorefamily@bigpond.com Volunteers Required The school banking program relies on parent volunteers to facilitate the banking and distribution of rewards. We currently have two volunteers but due to the ever increasing numbers of students banking would really benefit from having another helper. If you are able to volunteer a small amount of time on a Monday, please contact Di or Kerrie in the Junior School office.
