09.01.2022 The Commonwealth Bank School Banking Program has been successfully run at Weetangera Primary School for a number of years. It is run by Parents and Grandparents. This program is in danger of ceasing completely as we require three more volunteers. Can you help?... What is needed: We require you to commit an hour of your time to a training session and then you will be rostered on to process the banking 2 times a term. This involves: collecting the deposit books from the school on Friday (can be at pick up time), processing them online, dropping the money off at the bank and then returning the books to the school on Monday. Once up and running again, a roster will be in place so if you are unable to do the banking in your nominated week someone can swap with you.
