Bags 2 School - 27th September

Dear Parent / Guardian

We are pleased to announce that the PTA has once again organised a textile collection with Bag2School in order to raise funds for more playground equipment.

Bag2School are the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 2001 they have now paid out over £10 million. As well as raising vitally needed funds for our school, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill.

A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However it is a fact that as a nation we still send 1,081,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.

By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, bags, soft toys, curtains and bedding (not duvets or pillows).

We will receive £500 per tonne or £0.50/kg which will be a great boost for our fundraising. In addition it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse. If you fill the donation bag and still have more then you can use any other bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!

Bag2School will be collecting from our school on 27th September. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to the main School gate on the left (by the bins –PLEASE ) and help us have a really good collection.

Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.

Yours faithfully

The Chair of the PTA would like to praise all the children for their good behaviour and pass on some comments from parents of children from other schools, "all the children were so polite and well behaved, a real credit to the school" and "what great ambassadors for Darlinghurst, you must be very proud". Also a huge thank you to all the staff and PTA members who helped to make it such a great event....well done.
