Officeworks: Coming through for local CRTs for a second year!


Through the Officeworks Corporate Responsibility program, individual stores are able to support local groups that aim to increase the quality of local living.  For the second year in a row Officeworks Wodonga is lending some much needed support to assist is in helping local CRTs to be the best they can be!

Have you attended a meeting or one of our PD workshops in the last year?  If you have you will notice that the bags we supply resources for workshops in are Officeworks bags.  In them are notepads, pens, pencils and other assorted goodies.  There are coloured pencils and textas on tables if needed too.  The majority of these supplies have been given to us by Officeworks through their program  In our meetings, there are also notepads, pens and pencils on offer if you need them.  Again, all thanks to Officeworks.  In certain schools you'll also notice our posters and business cards in plastic stands.  The plastic stands and the paper the posters are printed on are also supplied by Officeworks.  There's even a couple of plastic serving trays, jugs for juice and carafes for water on tables to allow us to supply you all with a solid services at PD workshops.  Again, all thanks to the support of Officeworks.

This year you'll notice many of the same things again but there's also many "behind the scenes" items you would never be aware of.  Last year my husband bought himself something he's wanted for quite a while, a Laserjet printer.  The added bonus is that we are able to use it for the Network too, to print higher quality in-school posters and the like.  The toner cartriges for the printer aren't exactly cheap (even though printing individual pages is cheaper than for a bubblejet etc printer) and Officeworks have donated some of these in order to help us get more posters into schools to help local CRTs to be aware of what options are open to them through the Network.

This is far from an exhaustive list and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank Officeworks for supporting us in helping to improve the quality of education available to 1000's of regional students in Victoria through the education and support we can make available to local CRTs.  If you shop at Officeworks Wodonga we encourage you to take a minute or two and say thankyou as you pass a manager too ;).

Regards,

Mel.
