Woolworths Earn and Learn Program

This year the School will be participating in the Woolworths Earn and Learn program. Through this program we will be able to obtain new educational resources for our School and Early Childhood Centre – and all we need you to do is shop for your groceries at Woolworths.

From Wednesday 1 May to Tuesday 25 June or while stock lasts, 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 Woolworths Earn and Learn 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 School Reception or at your local Woolworths.  

The sticker sheet can be downloaded via the following link:   https://wowpmediaaae.azureedge.net/content/content/earn-and-learn-sticker%20sheet.pdf

NOTE:  Please don’t put more than 60 stickers onto one sheet.

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