School Banking Helpers Kala Sivarajah (grandmother) – Naveen, Vahini Isobel Beukes (grandmother) – Kavitha- S3D Nichola Beukes – Kavitha – S3D Yen Yee – Jolene Jetty Lim – Alexandra S3L, Jessica – 2M A huge THANK YOU for all your help.

Parent helpers are always welcomed every Tuesday between 8.30am – noon, whether it be helping with the face-to-face banking or counting the money. It is not necessary to volunteer for the entire time. It is a great way to meet new parents and share parenting tips with one another. Your child would be very proud and appreciative of your help because without your help, the running of school banking would not be possible. So, come along and give it a go to see if it’s something you’d like to take part in. No long-term commitment or experience required. We will train you ‘Everyone is welcome”.
