The Tesco Computers for Schools scheme is back and Hamilton PSA is taking part. So if you shop at Tesco make sure you receive your vouchers and put them in the box outside the school office.
The scheme started on 3 March and vouchers will be available for 10 weeks until 11 May 2008. Customers receive one voucher for every £10 spent in any Tesco store or petrol filling station during this period.
Don’t forget to ask friends and relatives to collect vouchers for Hamilton PSA.
We can collect even more Computers for Schools vouchers if you recycle your used inkjet cartridges and old mobile phones via the scheme. For every working phone we send in, the PSA will be given 30 vouchers, and 5 for every non-working phone. For every empty inkjet cartridge we send in that can be recycled, the PSA will be given 10 vouchers.
Since 1992 Tesco has delivered over £118 million worth of computer equipment to schools.
Please start collecting and handing in your vouchers: we need them soon as the last day for ordering the computer equipment is 4 July 2008.
Thank you to everyone who collected these vouchers. In September 2008 Miss Rickwood, the ICT Co-ordinator, announced that the school had used them to buy new software, digital cameras, and ‘Logit’ boxes which sense and record changes in temperature and light.
In addition the school has bought two visualisers which magnify objects and project them onto the whiteboard. Children’s work, small objects or science experiments can now be shared with the whole class using these tools.
So, thank you once again.
