We have moved to in front of the School office, with acouple of fold away tables used as the counter during the renovation period. Weare not sure where we will be located if the weather is inclement - perhaps undercover outside the junior girls toilets. The school has over 200 regular bankersand the children eagerly deposit their savings (sometimes as little as 5c) in orderto qualify to receive their prize. 10 deposits = one prize. The popular prizescurrently are the USB and penpod.The Commonwealth Bank pays MVPS an amount of money based on thedeposits. It is usually around $400 pa. Currently and in the past, this money hasbeen used to sponsor a child at school in Africa. Glennis in the school officeforwards the money under our instructions to UNICEF annually, in December.Kelly and Sarah offer this service to the children because they both believe inencouraging the children to learn the benefits of regular saving. It is veryrewarding when the children bring in the big ticket items they have purchasedfrom their savings (like Heelies!)8.12 School Magazine – Annette RoperMVPS P&C Meeting Minutes 10 September 2012 8
