CRT Primary Schools Program
Lending a hand to rural and regional primary schools. Schools play a vital role in our regional communities. That’s why we’ve started the CRT Primary Schools Program to lend a helping hand to rural and regional primary schools’ Parents and Friends Associations (P&F Associations).
What are the gifts for Primary Schools?
The CRT Primary Schools Program will assist the work of these important P&F volunteer organisations and recognise how they contribute to the success of the next generation as they grow and learn.
We will provide a gift of $2,000 to 25 chosen Parents and Friends Associations (or equivalent). The P&F Associations (or equivalent) must support a rural or regional primary school in an area within our store footprint.
The gift is intended for projects or activities that are above and beyond government funding and are deemed a requirement for the school.
For example, the gift could be used to contribute to:
- New or improved infrastructure
- Learning resources
- Sporting equipment
- Technological improvements or upgrades
- Extra-curricular activities
- Cultural enrichment activities
- Excursions
