STATIONERY STASH: Donations needed now please
STATIONERY STASH IS HERE
What is the Stationery Stash?: It is a trolley containing donated new or lightly used, good quality stationery supplies - for all students and staff to use as needed.
Donations needed year-round please
(only donate new or good quality slightly used items please)
Donation boxes are near Student Hub and at Admin reception
Items needed/ available:
- Exercise books
- Grid books
- Visual Art diaries
- Pencils (lead and coloured)
- Pens (ballpoint in red, blue and black)
- Highlighter pens
- Erasers, sharpeners, coloured textas
- Whiteboard markers
- Calculators
- Rulers
- Pencil cases
Where: Outside Ms Haswell-Smith’s office near the Student Hub
When: Monday to Friday during school hours
Why: Some families struggle with the cost of book lists each year, while other families end up with an excess of stationery that may end up being recycled or dumped when it still has a lot of life left. It’s a win-win for these items to be donated and used as support for YSHS students & staff plus the environmental benefits of less going to landfill.
- Students may occasionally forget to bring an exercise book, or their pen runs out, and they can then quickly grab one from the Stationery Stash to use that day and have less disruption to learning
- New students may arrive with little to no stationery and can quickly get the essentials to avoid barriers to settling in and learning
Who: run by parent volunteers and SRC students with Ms Haswell-Smith
Please contact Jae (Olly P’s mum) if you have any questions jspinaze47@gmail.com
Soooooo – please check at home for stationery that needs a new home and let’s get the YSHS Stationery Stash up and running for everyone!
