Welcome Back!
Unfortunately, due to the unpredictable weather this week, we postponed our 11th of September Sale to Tuesday, 16th of September. The good news is that we will have fresh stock available for sale or exchange then too. So please come and shop even if you were already there on the 9th.
This year we are also looking for volunteers to help us organize and run the Exchanges/Sales. Please contact me directly through the class Whatsapp groups if you would like to volunteer.
As a reminder or to all those who are interested in our movement:
Our Mission
The Uniform Stewardship Program aims to capture the many benefits of wearing uniforms more sustainably
Create a circular market for all BISB School uniform
Save carbon emissions and keep our uniform out of landfills by wearing second-hand uniform.
Ethically dispose of worn-out uniforms through upcycling and recycling
How it Works
Current BISB families return or ‘donate’ their old or outgrown uniform to the Project during our donation periods. The Project sorts the uniform, if it is in ‘re-sale’ condition and the bags have been clearly labelled, Exchange Vouchers are given to that family. Naturally, families can choose to donate uniform anonymously and no vouchers are given. The Project also receives all unclaimed Lost Property uniform pieces. The stock for the Sales is made up donated and unclaimed Lost Property uniform.
The Project holds three Sales per year a Back-to-School Sale in September, a Winter Sale and a Spring Sale as the weather changes, November and March/April respectively.
Sales are Exchange vouchers or cash only. Families do not have to donate uniform to participate, they can simply purchase with cash. Exchange Vouchers can be used for one academic year (September – June) at our Sales/Exchanges.
The Project publishes the environmental impact and results of each Sale in kilograms of uniform recirculated and equivalent uniform saved from landfills after each Sales series.
The Sales are organized, set up and managed by a committed volunteer Parent and Student team. Each Sale and donation period will be advertised in the Whatsapp Groups, the Friday Newsletter and posters in School. Please contact me through the Whatsapp Groups if you would like to join our volunteer team.
Come join our growing movement as a donor, sustainable shopper or volunteer!
