91% of the way!

Wow! It's amazing to see pledges for our online fundraiser rise in one week from from 33% of our goal to 91%! There are some incredibly generous supporters helping us out (see full list).



In Thursday's Daily Telegraph an opinion piece by Education journalist Maralyn Parker mentioned our school fundraiser! The link to the online version is here : "Upsides and downsides with the new funding model for schools"

How you can still help
We've still got a bit of a way to go to reach the goal, so please continue to spread the word. Some ideas:
Drop flyers in letterboxes around the neighbourhood
Talk to local businesses about supporting the school fundraiser
Put up posters or hand out flyers at local events, such as the Redfern Now screening

You can download images, posters & flyers here - or you & your kids can make your own!

Help Darlo Go Digital
Let’s be honest – while reaching the $5K goal will be fantastic, wouldn't it be even better if we could raise twice that for the school?

The school needs 34 notebooks to create a mobile computer lab, tablets for special needs students, and more computers and tablets in classrooms so that students and teachers are able to meet the new Australian curriculum requirements that include proficiency in Information & Communication Technology skills.

Please don’t ease off just because we've almost reached the $5,000 goal. We have 20 more days till the fundraiser ends -  let’s raise as much as we can for these kids!
