It seems hard to believe but it’s almost time to organise the kids to go back to school! It can be a stressful time but it definitely doesn’t have to be. Grand Central Toowoomba have you (and the kids!) completely covered.
Back to school – Grand Central Style!
Why does ‘Back to School’ have to be such a chore? This year Grand Central has created a series of Workshops and Services that will have you back enjoying your holidays in no time.
From Monday 8 until Sunday 21 January, Grand Central will introduce their first ever contact bar. Open from 10am – 4pm daily, parents can have their child’s books covered (without the hassle) for as little as a gold coin donation per book.
There are six exclusive contact designs for families to choose from and best of all, 100% of proceeds will be donated to Hope for our Children – a Toowoomba based charity that is dedicated to ensuring children within the foster care system are provided the best chance at a fresh start during their transition to a new home.
For students, there are several fun and interactive (and dare we say it – educational) workshops and guided tutorials to choose from.
Making Back to School FUN at Grand Central
