Supermarket giant Woolworths has announced Aussie schools and early learning centres will receive more than 300,000 vital education resources from this week.
The Woolworths supermarket said in a statement store managers across the country are delivering equipment as part of the grocery’s Earn & Learn program.
“It’s a privilege to be able to deliver the Earn & Learn educational equipment and resources, as we know how important and needed it is for schools and early learning centres in the area. Thank you to everyone in the community for your efforts in collecting stickers as part of the program. As a result of your contribution, the Woolworths Earn & Learn program has delivered over $50 million in school equipment since it started in 2011 to support the next generation of Aussies,” Woolworths director of Marketing, Andrew Hicks, said.
The Woolworths Earn & Learn program helps schools and early learning centres obtain a variety of educational resources, including sporting, mathematics, arts, science and technology equipment. Nationally, Woolies said it will be delivering 300,000 pieces of educational equipment to over 15,000 schools and Early Learning Centres throughout the country, assisting over three million pupils.
Information and Communications Technology was the leading resources category redeemed across most states and territories, except New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, which selected Mathematics as their favourite type of equipment to receive.
