The Rubber Bank-its are unleased upon the school i.e Our Launch!

Finally The Rubber Bank-it's Launch arrived. On the 3rd of February. Our school bank was officially opened. We went all out and got Colm Cooper , A well known and highly respected Kerry Footballer to cut a red ribbon. The crowd went mad when the ribbon was eventually cut after a little bit of difficulty due to poor scissors.

Our Theme for this week was "Save For Oxegen" We brought in props which are associated with oxegen such as Wellies , Sleeping bags, Sunglasses and Rain Jackets. We wanted to bring in a tent but that was a bit too ambitious. Our oxegen theme was received very well by all at our school and went down a storm. We put a lot of work into our launch and this theme however it all paid off in the end.

Kiah , The Rubber Bank-its manager informing everybody about how our bank works and about what they need to do. As you can see from the picture there was a huge turn out and a lot of enthusiasm amongst the students. Everybody was interested and curious about our school bank.  

This is our display. A lot of time was spent making our posters. The pink poster is highlighting the students chance to win an ipod nano. The two small ones are letting the students know about our theme of oxegen and encouraging them to Save with AIB for Oxegen. We also had lots of balloons to attract peoples attention.

Some eager students grasping the chance to sign up to our school bank. So many people wanted to sign up that we ran out of forms. Yes that's how popular our bank is!! We took the names , classes and mobile numbers of everybody who signed up so we can text them reminding them to bring in money to lodge and to return their registration forms.
