Woolworths Earn and Learn

This year we will be participating in the Woolworths Earn and Learn program. Through this program we will be able to get new educational resources which we provide to the Tata School in Vanuatu – and all we need you to do is shop for your groceries at Woolworths.

Until Tuesday 19th September, we are collecting Woolworths Earn and Learn Stickers.  You will get one Woolworths Earn and Learn Sticker for every $10 spent (excluding liquor, tobacco and gift cards). Place the sticker onto a Woolworths Earn and Learn Sticker Sheet and when it’s complete, the Sticker Sheet can be dropped into the Collection Box here at the school (in the office) or at your local Woolworths.

At the end of the promotion, we’ll be able to get some great new equipment for the school in Vanuatu. The range is extensive and offers lots of items ideal for students – including resources for Maths, English, Science and some fantastic fun supplies for Arts and Craft, Sport and the library.

Mothers' and Fathers' Day Stall Coordinator Required

The PFA Mothers' and Fathers' Day Stalls are community events that provide a service to our children. Colin and Sonia Sires, who have been coordinating this for the last few years, are stepping down from this role. We thank them for their service.

The PFA require 1 or 2 parents to take on this role. It can be split up or managed in a way to suit you. The coordinator is responsible for buying gifts, setting up and packing up, organising parent helpers and coordinating with teachers. The coordinator needs to be thrifty and considerate in buying appropriate gifts. 

If you are able to help or require more information please email pfa@standrews.vic.edu.au or talk to  Colin or Sonia.
