The 21st of April each year sees the celebration of Kindergarten Day, this is the birthday of Friedrich Froebe who started the very first kindergarten in 1837, in Germany. Kindergarten in German literally translates as 'Children's Garden' and is a pre-school educational institution designed for the early childhood process. His goal was that children should be taken care of and nourished like plants in a garden.
In each state of Australia, kindergarten (frequently referred to as 'kinder' or 'kindy') means something slightly different. In TAS, NSW and ACT, it is the first year of primary school. In Victoria, it may be referred to as preschool or kindergarten. In QLD, kindergarten is usually an institution for children around the age of 4 and is prior to preschool and in WA, SA or the NT is referred to respectively as pre-primary, reception or transition! You would think it would be easier to call it the same across the country!
Most kindergartens and schools will have funding schemes set up by their local governments to help with the centre's resources, materials and day to day running, however, sometimes this just isn't quite enough.
Fundraising initiatives are often developed by staff within a centre and are great for targeting areas that need a little extra cash, we can be sure to help you with some Fundraising Ideas!
School & Charity Events
Looking to raise some extra cash for your kindergarten, school or club then be sure to publicise your event on the products that you choose! Perhaps you are having a fun-run or walk-a-thon for a local charity, a school fete or an evening function as a fundraiser to help gain extra school equipment. Our drink holders can be great for any of these events as a giveaway, part of a show-bag or for sale on the day. You can simply send through the event details, your logo and and design ideas and we will aim to create the perfect merchandise to help you raise those much needed funds.
Fundraise with Personalised Gifts
Great for Father's Day, Mother's Day, Australia day, Easter, Christmas, New Years and much more! You can then create the perfect gift for that someone special to suit your chosen occasion. Whichever event you choose there are several options available in terms of the design process and with some great unit prices these can make a great little fundraiser too:
- Create your own artwork.
We can provide a blank template onto which your group or individual child can paint, draw or sketch their very own piece of art! It could be a self-portrait, handprint, simple drawing or elaborate design. Each piece of art can then be scanned by us and made into your very own cooler - a fantastic and long lasting gift idea for any occasion!
- Use a Coolaz design template.
Choose from a selection of our ready-to-go design templates, you can simply send us a list of student names so that each item is personalised with a "Love from
name greeting", you can also supply individual photographs or a team photograph to be included for a really personal touch.
- Blank canvas.
Get in touch to ask us about purchasing plain white blank stubby holders, slightly different from Coolaz coolers, these are ready-to-go, sewn coolers with a base. They make a great canvas for kids to draw onto - You could use fabric paints, permanent pens and even iron on transfers (supervised of course) to create a fantastic gift for that someone special. We have no minimum order quantity and you can call 03 5976 8600 or email us coolaz@coolaz.com.au to find out prices and more information.
Merchandise for your School, Teams and Clubs.
Printed items as merchandise for your school or club can make a great marketing tool. Include your school crest, motto & mission statement or your sports logo, class list or group photo along with your design preferences or uniform colours to get the most from your products.
We can even print individual student names onto each cooler so that you can easily identify your own soft drink can, or water bottle, works great for staff members too. This can also be a great idea for personalised student mouse pads, maybe they can be used for reserving a space in the computer room or library.
If you are interested in any of our products for your school merchandise or fundraising events then please do get in touch. You can simply email through your requirements and our experienced team will create a design to suit your needs.
