One of my schools, Mary Immaculate at Annerley, won a state wide competition for staffroom improvements run by the Queensland Teachers Credit Union. There were over 1170 schools entered, and 60 000 votes cast. It was done on line. We got not only our small community (only 127 children) of parents to vote, but by the driving force of one tenacious staff member (bless you Sharon!) we garnered help from many other sources too, including a Face book campaign. One person got her sister, a uni lecturer, to have each member of her class vote on their laptops prior to the lecture beginning, and I requested help from all 95 Airport Ambassadors. You could vote as often as you liked, but only from the one address, and I have three email addresses, so I voted three times. Anyway, last Friday we were announced as winners on World Teachers Day and have been excitedly suggesting just what we can do with the money. http://www.srfi.com.au
