Donations for Silent and Art Auction
If you own a business, have a connection with a local business, have a unique item, or experience to donate to the Silent Auction - we would love to hear from you!
We're also grateful for recommendations of businesses that may be interested in supporting our school community as sponsors.
Silent Auction lead: Kirsty-Lee Laidlaw, phone 0400 731 370 or email market@brunswicknwps.vic.edu.au
The Art Auction is a huge success every year. Donate your creative artworks such as paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, textiles, quilts and jewellery.
Artwork does not need to be framed. We ask that works on paper are submitted on good-quality paper and that all items are packaged carefully to help protect them.
When submitting your donation at the school office, please complete a donor form and include your contact details.
Art Auction lead: Judith, phone 0408 531 192 or email bnwps.art.auction@gmail.com
Donate your pre-loved clothes and books
There is a vintage clothes market and second-hand book market selling donated goods to raise money for the school.
We would love your good quality donations of:
- Kids and adult clothing
- Books
Please donate only items in excellent pre-loved condition – no fast fashion or items with stains, holes, or excessive wear. Please note we are not accepting toys this year. Thank you for your generosity and support!
The donation drop-off point is inside the main school building (near Sprout entrance).
Bake a cake or treat for market
Each year our wonderful community donate home made cakes, treats, cookies and deserts for the cake and treat stall at the market. We would be grateful if you could do the same this year.
Sweet treat donations can be delivered in the morning, before the market opens at 2pm. Please include a list of ingredients on a label that we can place in front of your food item.
