Contact us to contribute towards this project

We are heading to camp in Week 8 of Term 1, 2018. Unfortunately as no fundraising was tagged for camp last year our parents are having to cover the full cost of camp. We would like to fund-raise to cover the transport costs so that this does not have to be paid by our parents as well.

RELN GARDEN WORM CAFE WORM FARM

  • Recycle organic waste to create nutritious fertiliser for your garden
  • Black 100% recycled plastic
  • Stylised hinged, fly proof lid
  • Three large capacity rectangular working trays
We need a new worm farm to be able to manage our school food waste. We would like this model because we will be able to use it to collect the worm tea to use in our school gardens. If we have any left over we will sell it and put the money towards future fundraising projects.

Project 5: Ball Pump for the Sports Shed

$33.99
Funds Raised So Far: $0
Funds Remaining: $33.99

SCA Foot Pump - Single Barrel, With Gauge

  • Single barrel foot operated pump
  • Dial pressure gauge
  • Rubberised non-slip foot pad
  • Comes with flexible air hose & 3 inflating nozzles
  • Lockable for compact storage
We need a new ball pump to pump up the balls in our sports shed. We have chosen this model as we think it looks very robust and will last a long time. We like that it has a gauge so that we know when the balls are pumped up correctly. We have had problems in the past with breaking the needles on our pumps so we found a model that has spare needles available for separate purchase. We think this is sustainable as we can buy replacement needles instead of having to buy a whole new pump.

$8 / Pair x 10 Pairs = $80
Funds Raised So Far: $0
Funds Still Needed: $80

Necessities Brand Over Ear Headphones Blue

Over Ear Headphones. Necessities - Right price - Everyday low price.

In Room 2 we need some new headphones so that we can listen to our online learning sites without disturbing each other. We have chosen this brand as it is affordable and robust. We noticed that our current headphones cords often get tangled as there is one from each ear. This model only has one cord from one side. We think this will be easier for us to manage.

Project 4: Knee / Elbow Pads for the Scooters
PROJECT COMPLETED!

$8 x 4 Sets = $32
Funds Raised So Far: $50
FuNds Remaining: $0

Milazo Protective Gear Large

  • Includes wrist guards, knee pads and elbow pads
  • Great protection for skating and other activities
  • Adjustable strap system to fit most applications
