This is a reminder with regards Easter Holidays. The school will finish
tomorrow at the normal time and resume again on Wednesday, 30 March. As
I have pointed out in previous newsletters it is important for the students
learning that they don’t miss days of school with extended holidays. We
expect our students to return to school on Wednesday, unless they are sick or
there is a bereavement.
School Fundraising 2005 - Telecom Education Foundation
Sponsorship
This is our school’s main fundraising programme and brings into the school
approximately $20,000 a year. All money raised from the Telecom
Education Foundation goes towards purchasing ICT equipment, e.g. computers,
printers, scanners, digital cameras, video cameras, etc. This school
fundraising programme kicks off tomorrow. Students are asked to get
sponsors. Details will be provided to all parents in a newsletter which
will outline the fundraising project and prizes available to all students.
A reminder that this does not cost people who sponsor the school any money.
Telecom pays the school. All students need to do is get sponsors from
people who use Telecom for their toll calls (private not business).
Please support your child to get sponsors as all money is used to purchase ICT
equipment for the school which benefits all students. At the beginning
of this year we purchased another four computers and CD players for classes at
a cost of approximately $7,500.00 with other ICT purchases planned for later
in the year.
The Telecom fundraising project will start on 4 April. Students will be
given information to bring home next week.
