School fundraisers come in many forms: raffles, chocolate boxes, fairs and markets.
But to raise money to buy books for nearby childcare centres, students at Tarniet’s Islamic College of Melbourne came up with an ingenious method: selling books.
Second hand books donated to the school are currently being collected by students and will be until June 14.
Students will then try and sell the books on June 19 and 20, before using the proceeds to purchase and distribute new books by June 21 and 22, in time for the end of term.
This is all part of the school’s ‘Books Make It Better’ initiative, aimed at making reading inclusive and accessible for all.
For more information on how to donate or buy the second hand books, call the Islamic College of Melbourne on 8742 1739 or http://www.icom.vic.edu.au/
