Hey everyone – we have just put an order in for a total of 61 boxes of Cadbury fundraising chocolates!!! Should be pretty easy to sell them as it’s only approx 2 and a half boxes each. Some may go through more boxes than others, so we can just divide them up as we need. We can’t send any of our order back to Cadbury though, but I can’t see us not selling them by the end of the year.

The chocolates should be delivered early next week so I’ll let everyone know when they arrive and organise a place and time for you to come and collect them to get started 🙂

Tips / notes:

• Store them in a cool location once you pick them up so they remain in a good condition for when you sell them to people
• Cadbury state that the sell prices are RRP, and are note required to sell them at that amount. You can increase the price if you think people will be happy to purchase them for more than the RRP listed, or you can reduce the price and cut into your profit if you think you can sell more at a cheaper price – up to you
• Keep chocolates of the same price in the same box if you decide to mix them up
• Still negotiating with heads of school as to whether we can officially sell them at school as a fundraiser, so more on that later
• Ask your parents if they would mind leaving one at the lunch/staffroom at work
• If you are part of a social/church/sport club, use them as an opportunity to fundraise

 

What to do with the money…

To make life easier, once you sell a box, please return the money in the envelope to Miss Young, Mr Kirby or Mr Belson, and ensure your name is on the envelope provided. We will simply record all collections on a spreadsheet against each person’s name and deposit everyone’s fundraising at the same time to save you doing multiple trips to the bank. Keep a tally yourself of how much you have raised so you can double-check. Once all the money is in, you can then individually update your Everyday Hero account with an Offline Donation for the amount you raised.

Hi Troupers,

Students of Duncraig campus, we will be having a fundraising meeting tomorrow, Tuesday the 10th of June at lunch time. Please come with some great ideas and lots of enthusiasm. We will meet in the studio behind the library straight after the bell. If you have not already created your everyday hero account please make sure it is done by Tuesday. If you are having trouble setting it up, come and see me or Mr Belson to help you get get it started.

See you there!

 

P.S. let all your fellow Cambodia crusaders know to be there. Just in case they don’t check the blog!

Hi Carramar Crew,

We will be meeting again Monday 9 June at the start of Lunch in the Library (L2) again.

Before then, please try to do two things, firstly, set up your Everyday Hero account if you have not already:  http://everydayhero.com.au/event/rawststephens

Simply follow the links, and then click on ‘Start Fundraising’. Any problems, we can help on Monday.

Secondly, read over the Trip Registration post below (May 23rd) as there is lots of important information and things to start doing there!

See you on Monday

 

 

I’m thinking of getting some fundraising chocolates in for us to sell and wanting to get an idea of who else would be interested. If you have parents who would be willing to take a box to their work, or a club you’re involved in that would be happy for you to sell at, or friends that you could sell a chocolate to from time to time, then these are the easiest things ever to make money from. They have a great profit margin too, and with a few good months left, it would make a great way to trickle funds into your fundraising account.

We can try this for 2 weeks, and any we don’t sell, we can send back for a refund, however I’m sure we will be able to sell any we order between now and the end of the year.

If you are interested in me organising some chocolates for us to sell, please click on the following link and indicate how many boxes you would like of each. If there is enough interest from everyone, then I will order some (as there is a minimum order quantity) – Click here

Use this blog to discuss fundraising opportunities or ideas / ask questions / organise something with others and let us know what’s happening.

To get started with donations, firstly, spend time coming up with a paragraph of something meaningful about trip and what you are fundraising for (happy to help you put something together, or you can work with someone else for ideas).

The best way to target people is to send them a personalised message, rather than simply posting your Everyday Hero link on Facebook. Facebook will get a bunch of Likes, but if it’s donations you want, send the link to individuals and ask them personally for a donation. The effort will return a lot more!! There is nothing stopping you promoting your personal Everyday Hero link on Facebook / Twitter though.

I’ll post the ideas we discuss at each campus’ meetings in the comments section in this post. Do the same to add you own when you think of them…

There is a Fundraising tab at the top of this page with all the info to get you started.

 

 

Hey everyone, we are going to have our first fundraising meeting this week to get ourselves started and to brainstorm some fundraising ideas within the team.

• Duncraig – Tuesday 27th May @ lunchtime in Studio 1/2 (Collinson library)

Bring your lunch and come along with some ideas to share!!

If you do not currently have a passport, you will need to apply for one asap as it can take up to 6 weeks from the date of application to receive one. We are unable to book flights for the group until we have passport numbers for everyone so this is one of the first things you will need to get sorted.

For information on applying for a passport, visit https://www.passports.gov.au/web/forms/entrypoint.aspx

Quick post to keep everyone in the loop with what’s happening with the selection process…

We have spent the last week and a bit going through all the applications and speaking to other teachers. The selection process has now been finalised and all students who applied will be receive a letter in the mail by Friday (depending on Australia Post) confirming either a position on the team or a placement in the reserve list.
A confirmation email will also be sent out on Monday.

Thank you for your patience.

It was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet and chat with all of you over Monday and Tuesday. We congratulate you on the effort you made during the interview – really well done, we know it wasn’t easy!

While we were intending on making a decision by Monday, we have had a great calibre of well-deserving students apply, and it is important that we don’t rush this process and that we finalise a few matters in our decision process. For this reason, it may take us a bit of extra time to make a decision on the team selection.

All parents & students will receive a letter in the post, with further information posted here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

 

Thank you to all those who have applied; it is great to see such an interest!

The next stage will be for all students to individually meet with the tour staff on their respective campus. We are currently in the process of allocating specific interview times for each student. From Thursday Recess, students will be able to collect a confirmation page which will outline the time their interview is held, and where. If you have a class on at this time, you will need to show your teacher your confirmation note at the beginning of class so they know you will be absent for a short time.

At this stage, students will be interviewed over the following days:

Carramar students – Tuesday 13th May with Mr Belson & Mr Kirby
Duncraig students – Monday 12th May with Mr Belson & Miss Young

Please collect your confirmation letter from Student Services from recess Thursday. If you are unable to collect yours for any reason, please email Mr Belson (dave.belson@ststephens.wa.edu.au) and a copy will be emailed to you as PDF which you can print.

Looking forward to meeting with you….
