RECYCLING FUNDRAISER
This year the school will continue supporting a fabulous fundraising activity that consists of recycling unwanted goods. It is called Recycle With Mondo for a Better World. The program involves families within the school community donating any unwanted clothes, accessories, shoes, toys and linen to the school. These items are then placed in special collection bins and our school will be paid $250 per tonne for each recycling collection. The benefit of this program is that it reduces waste to landfill and provides global communities with affordable clothing and employment. So now is a great time to clean out your wardrobes for this great cause and help our school raise some extra funds. This fundraising activity will run throughout the entire year.
Specially marked purple bins are located in the office and you can place all of your unwanted items in these bins.
PLEASE NOTE - this is not a rubbish dump, so donated items still need to be useable. There was a huge and positive response to this fundraising activity last year and a very big thank you to the many families who donated goods to this special cause. Please keep up the good work and keep donating in 2017.
AIRSTREAM CAFE FUNDRAISER
Airstream Cafe at Century City Walk in Glen Waverley introduced an ongoing fundraising opportunity for our school last year and will continue to do so in 2017. By using the Airstream Cafe fundraiser card families will be able to receive 5% discount off their total bill when dining at the cafe. In addition, 5% of the price of all purchases will be donated at the end of each term towards our fundraising targets for Jells Park Primary School. This is a wonderful and fantastic opportunity for families to support a local business whilst also assisting our school in reaching our fundraising targets too. We hope you enjoy your dining experience at Airstream Cafe. Spare cards are available from the School Office.
