Woolworths Earn and Learn Program

There’s only two weeks left to collect stickers for the Earn & Learn program! Thank you to the many families

who have already supported this program and collected stickers. Our goal is to reach 10,000 stickers. The

more stickers that are collected, the more resources we can purchase to benefit all students at our school.

Please support the Woolworths Earn and Learn Program to enable our school to purchase additional

resources for our students.

If you haven’t been involved so far, here’s how it works:




1. SHOP - Anyone can earn a sticker for every $10 spent at Woolworths between 26th July and the 19th

September 2017.

2. STICK – Stick your Woolworths stickers on the Woolworths Earn and Learn Sticker Sheet (a copy of

the sticker sheet is attached to this newsletter). Additional sticker sheets can be downloaded from

woolworths.com.au/earnandlearn or obtained from the Office.

3. RETURN – Sticker sheets can be dropped into the green collection box located in our office foyer or

at your local Woolworths in the box marked Lugarno PS (Mortdale and Riverwood stores).

When collecting stickers on the sticker sheet, please ensure that one sticker is placed in each square

provided and that additional stickers are not placed outside the boxes or on the back of the sheet.

Woolworths will not accept sticker sheets that are not completed in this way.

Thank you for your support.

The students participating in the After-School Lego Club are having a great time learning about engineering

concepts, construction and are building on their knowledge each week. We will be holding a “Lego Challenge

Day” in “The Hub” on Wednesday, 13th September. The Challenge Day will provide an opportunity for the

Term 3 participants to showcase their knowledge and share what they have been learning about this term.

Parents of our participants are most welcome to attend and any other students and their parents who are

interested in taking a look can come along as well.

We are very excited that our After-School Lego Program will return in Term 4. Please see the invitation below

for information about enrolments.




Student Absence Notes

Many student absences are not being validated by a signed, written note from a parent or carer. It is a

requirement that a note explaining a child’s absence is provided as soon as a child returns to school. We

Lugarno Public School Banking TERM 3

Getting involved in the School Banking Program Lugarno Public School is excited to offer the Commonwealth Bank School Banking Program to all Students in 2017. The School Banking program provides children with an opportunity to deposit money into their Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account at school each week. The program is about how often your child makes deposits, not how much they deposit. You can get involved in the School Banking program by opening a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account at your local branch. All you need to bring is your current identification as well as your child’s birth certificate. If you are an existing Commonwealth Bank customer and have NetBank, you can open an account online. 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 Wednesday on School Banking day using their Dollarmites deposit wallet.

New to School Banking ? What you need to know about Lugarno School Banking

• Lugarno Public School Banking Day is Every Wednesday. • Your Child’s Deposit Book and Money is collected by their Class Teacher. • Processing of Deposits is completed on Thursday and Money should be in

your Child’s Bank Account no later than Friday. (Longer on Public Holidays) • Students will receive their Deposit Books back by their Class Teacher no later

than Friday. • Any discrepancies found between your Child’s Deposit Slip and/or Money, will

not be processed for that week and a note will be sent with their banking. • Deposit Books are replaced by the banking Co-ordinator if damaged or

Deposit slips have been completed fully. • 10 Deposits will earn your Child 1 Reward Item. • Tokens are no longer given out as the CBA has an Electronic System, which

notifies the School Banking Co-Ordinator if a Child is eligible for a Reward. • When your Child is eligible for a Reward a note will be sent home with their

Banking. Please do not send reward cards in before this time. • Rewards may take up to 2 -3 weeks to arrive.

• All Information and/or Notes that are provided by the Commonwealth Bank will be posted in the Lugarno Public School Newsletter OR sent home with your Child’s School Banking.

• If your Child has forgotton to hand in their School Banking on Wednesday, they are able to give their Deposit Book directly to the School Banking Co-Ordinator in the Library on Thursday mornings before School begins.

• Your School Banking Co-Ordinator is available on Thursday mornings between 8.30am - 9.30am in the School Library Office.
