Sale Events Your school can benefit from
holding a Starbeck Sale. We can send you sale or return
boxes of artefacts for you to sell. In return you receive
30% commission - in goods - for all purchases made on
the day. We pay for the delivery & collection of
the stock to & from school. All you need to do is
get the publicity & invites out & the tea &
biscuits in. So the more people you invite - colleagues
from neighbouring schools, pyramid or cluster group
friends, college students, trainee teachers, parents
etc., the greater the chance to earn! |
"The
new D&T curriculum at both KS3 & 4 requires
us all to be far more aware of different cultures, much
more aware of sustainability issues & fair trade.
This amazing collection of artefacts is essential for
schools to be able to build up a wide range of products
that reflect different values. Creativity is high on
the national agenda & what better way of opening
students' eyes to a whole new world than to dip in to
the Starbeck van."
