School collects bread bags

Woy Woy Public School is taking part in the national competition, designed to encourage Australian Primary School children and their families to eat well and get active.

Students have the opportunity to receive new sports equipment for the school by collecting specially-marked empty bread bags.

The competition has been running since July 1, and closes on September 30.

School fundraising coordinator Mr Mark Ellis has suggested that students collect the bags from family, friends and neighbours.

The school canteen will also be stocking the white bread varieties which come in the bags until the end of September.

"The bags can be placed in the silver barrel located in the school office," said Mr Ellis.

"We are currently trying to arrange some local supermarket collection points."
