A new sound system for the school hall was the main initiative applied for by Greytown Primary School.  The Trust awarded $20,000 towards this project and also approved $4,135 in support for purchasing equipment for their Enviroschool Group programme.

The woodwork for young learners programme that the Trust funded for Greytown Kindergarten last financial year has been such a great success for them that they applied again this year to cover further regular sessions in 2024 with Martin the Toymaker.  They have been awarded $5,000 towards the continuation of this very worthwhile programme.

Greytown Early Years have received funding to help with their ongoing explorers programme and also their new adventurers programme for the younger children.  Funding for new Mobilo resources has also been approved with the total amount of $3,315 being awarded for Early Years.
