The Allied Irish Bank in conjunction with Errigal College runs a school bank every year. The bank is coordinated by a team of eight fifth and transition year students with help from some other student.

The 2009/2010 academic year's team includes the position of the Manager, occupied by Ziyanda Shologu and her deputy Kerry lee Coyle. In the position of the Sales and Marketing Manager is Martin Rogers, Andrews Aziz Opoku acts as Auditor, Hannah O'Donnell and Michelle O' Donnell are Tellers and Chris Cannon and Dylan Murphy as Assistants. In addition, the team is guided by the wonderful supervision of the school's business teachers Mr. McFadden and Miss Logue with an extra hand from the school's designated AIB representative Mr. James Mc Fadden.

This year's bank was named the 'Celtic Crunch' after serious deliberation. It opens every Thursday from 13:15 to 13:45. With the help of our sponsors: SARA, County Seat, Elverys Sports, B-Bobs Hairdressing, Edge Hairdressing, Linda's Beauty Clinic, C.T. Ball jewellers, Pat's Pizza, Magee's Pharmacy, Rathmulan House Hotel.

We run weekly draws to give a prize to the winner of 'the saver of the week' competition. Alan Doherty LCA 1 was the winner of the January 21^st competition and Patrick McFadden 6^th year won our last competition on January 28th.

In addition to these student incentives, there is also an overall price to be won at the end of this year's school bank. This is a laptop.

But we haven't forgotten about our teachers, there is also a restaurant meal for two to be won and we call on our teachers to kindly make their lodgements in order to give them the chance to win this fabulous prize.

However, the school bank's staff would like to thank all teachers and students for their cordial co-operation which has helped to attain our goals so far.

Finally, as we all are aware of the current economic situation, let us come together to 'BEAT THE CRUNCH THROUGH OUR SCHOOL BANK THE CELTIC CRUNCH'.
