What is Play It Forward?

It is a MySchool promotion, sponsored by Woolworths, that is designed to raise additional funds for primary schools.
Give card holders and schools the opportunity to give goodwill to those in need.
Create soccer fever fun on the playground for kids.
Our school is one of 400 primary schools participating in this unique and fun promotion running from 1 March – 31 May 2010.

How do we participate?

Parents, friends and family can register to support the school and class they wish to support. (Each class has a unique Play It Forward code).
People with MySchool cards who support other schools (e.g. a high school) can, for the period of the campaign, also participate and support your school.
All you need to do is visit Woolworths and swipe your MySchool card each time you purchase an item, no matter how big or small.

How can our school win?

The winning class (per week) and school (overall) is NOT determined by how much you spend, but by:
The number of time you swipe your MySchool card at Woolworths stores.
The number of unique stores that your supporters visit (so get family across the country to support your school).
The number of items you buy   (big and small – each item counts).

What can we win?

Three winning schools will each receive R100 000 plus an additional R50 000 to give to a local under-resourced school or charity .
5 winning parents will each get a Nintendo Wii gaming consol by registering to participate.
Every week each school’s winning class will win a prize (ranging from a class party to vuvuzelas to Easter eggs)
