World Book Day This year we will be celebrating

World Book Day on the 20th March 2020. All staff will be dressing up as

'Fairytale' characters. Pupils are invited to dress up as their favourite book characters at 50p per person. We will be holding a 'Bring and Buy' sale for 50p a book. Please donate any unwanted books to school asap. All proceeds made will go towards the purchase of new books for the

pupils. To encourage interest in reading we will be watching adapta-tions of Julia Donaldson and Roald

Dahl books in class.

Celtic Credit Union Schools

Savings Club Programme

continues to grow from

strength to strength.

We are now considered the

Number One Credit Union

in the UK for Schools Sav-

ings.

Hundreds of pupils all across

Neath Port Talbot are saving

in their schools with our

Credit Union. Some of these

pupils are developing their

numeracy and communica-

tion skills by helping to

operate the Savings Club,

with some of the older pu-

pils linking their involve-

ment to the Welsh Bacca-

laureate or Duke of Edin-

burgh Award.

More than 40 schools are

currently taking part in the

scheme and new schools are

applying to join us every

month.

We believe that ALL pupils

in Neath Port Talbot should

have access to a School

Savings Club.

So what are you waiting

for?

Join Today

and

Save for Tomorrow!

Celtic Credit Union is the

parent company of Neath

Port Talbot Credit Union

(NPTCU) and Swansea Bay

You can contact the Credit Union on our main number 01639 632100 or check out the website at

Did you know that Celtic Credit Union operates a Schools Savings Club in your school?

NUMBER ONE iN YOUR

COMMUNITY FOR SAVINGS &

LOANS

Since starting our Schools Savings Club

programme in 2009 we have helped thousands of

pupils save thousands of pounds. Our Savings

Clubs aim to show each new generation of pupils

the value of saving - a habit which seems to be in

decline.

YOUR Savings Club is operated by pupils from

Y5/6 supported by a member of staff every

Thursday morning from 09.00 - 9.15 in the

CWTSH. If you would like to help your children

start saving - whether it’s for something special or

nothing in particular - we would love to hear from

you!

It takes just £1.00 to open a Junior Account then you can save as much or as little

as you like every week (or as often as you can). Just complete the Application

Form on the back of this Newsletter and return it to the school with a minimum

of £1.00 to get your child started.

Savings can be withdrawn during the last week of each term - but many children

choose to just keep on saving.

Grown ups are welcome too!

Come and see us at THE HUB in Pontardawe. We are open from 10am

until 3pm every Tuesday. Why not pop in to pick up a leaflet, have a chat

or maybe open an account? Adult Savers can get access to our ethical,

affordable loans …. much cheaper than credit cards and payday lenders.

Come and see what your Credit Union can do for you!
