Marketplace Book & Uniform Sale
Saturday 30 November
For the past twenty years the Parent Network has worked endless hours in preparing for and staffing the annual HPSC Book Sale.
Previously this was one of the major fundraising events for the Parent Network however with the reliance on laptops and the reduced need for textbooks, in 2018 the school signed up for the Sustainable Book Shop which did not have the benefits of supporting our community that we were hoping for.
This year the Parent Network would like to trial a new method for supporting families in selling used books and uniform through a Marketplace concept. All funds raised will be used to support student learning.
The Marketplace will be held on Saturday 30 November from 9.00am-12.00pm in E Block at Hampton Park Secondary College. All information is contained in the flier below.
Booklists and books that can be re-sold will be shared when this becomes available.
