Buy Your Community Dollars Now
On Community Day, students will be able to spend ‘community dollars.’ Community dollars can be purchased through the QKR app from Friday, 23 February. Community dollars can be spent at the stalls on the day. Students can also purchase community dollars from the Finance Desk up until Wednesday, 27 March. Community dollars will need to be pre-purchased before the day (if students wish to purchase more on the day, they can do so from the Finance Desk in the Andrews Building.) Stalls can only accept community dollars.
Please note: The proceeds from this day will go to Fostering Hope Australia; there will not be any refunds of unspent Community Dollars.
Community Dollars will be handed out on the day, prior to Community Day starting.
All Community Dollars (spent and unspent) will go into a raffle to win exciting prizes. (Students can add their name and advo to the back of the ‘dollars’ to go in the draw)
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are still looking for a MAJOR raffle prize, as well as smaller ones. Please support this excellent initiative or ask your employers if they would sponsor a prize, so that we can raise more funds for Fostering Hope Australia! Students who purchase Community Dollars will go into a draw to win one of the prizes.
Possible Prize ideas: Bicycle, PlayStation, Vouchers for Officeworks, BigW, Target, Food Vouchers etc.
Please email John.O’Loughlin@education.wa.edu.au if you would like to contribute a prize, or you can drop off at the Finance Desk. Donors will be publicly acknowledged in the school newsletter and social media.
Thank you for your support of this fun school event!
