For Parents
As a local, family-run business, we’ve loved supporting our community’s schools throughout the year, and we’re excited to launch a new initiative to keep the festive spirit alive - with absolutely no strings attached!
Jefferies Provedore is offering a free community giveaway that gives our school the chance to receive $1,000. Families can take part in an optional “Elf Spotting” activity in-store at the Blackburn or Croydon Hills locations, and parents can enter the draw.
A $200 family hamper will also be given to one participating family. Participation is free, and no children’s information is collected.
Full terms and conditions on the Jefferies website.
Christmas Colouring Competition
Sat 22 Nov - Fri 5 Dec
To bring some festive cheer to our centre, we're inviting kids in the community to enter our Christmas drawing competition.
To enter, kids simply have to create a drawing depicting how they celebrate Christmas, and submit this in the entry box near ALDI or send their entry via email to marketing@croydoncentral.com.au. We have 10x $100 Coles gift vouchers to give away to the winners.
I have attached a soft copy of the colouring sheet and a poster if you could please share/display at your school.
Find out more information (including T&Cs) HERE.
Christmas Market Day
Sun 28 Nov, 10am - 2pm
Local families can enjoy a day of festive fun at Croydon Central. We have a bunch of fun activities on, including free Santa photos, Spin to Win promotion, PAW Patrol Meet & Greet, pop-up stalls, roving characters, gingerbread decorating and more.
I have attached a poster if you could please share or pop this up at your school as well, that would be really appreciated!
