And Now We Wait...

After 2 months of hard work, the Colgate Carton Race has officially finished, but we don't find out results until mid-July so we will wait eagerly to find out! The creative competition results will be posted on the Colgate NZ Facebook page once votes have been validated, but the main competition will take a bit longer I imagine as judges have to come out to the top schools to verify carton counts. The top schools will be notified next week so I shall let you know if I hear anything!

Thank you to all of you who gave us boxes or voted for our design, the support we have received has been unbelievable and we most definitely wouldn't be where we are without you! We finished with a grand total of 6049 boxes, which is an awesome effort! It's now in the hands of the toothpaste gods and we are now officially on school holiday for 2 weeks, whooo!

Only One Day To Go!

There's only one more day to go in the competition and we have just over 5,200 boxes in total! A pretty amazing effort, and something we couldn't have done without the help of the generous support of all our friends and schools who have helped us along the way! Thank you very much to everyone that has given us and sent us boxes in the last 2 months... it's been an awesome journey and a fantastic learning experience for all of us in Studio 21 :)

We're on the News!!

Our class effort with the Colgate competition made it to the local newspaper!

Colgate Box Mufti Day!

Today we had a Colgate box Mufti Day and managed to collect 347 boxes, plus some extra money that Mr George is going to use to buy toothpaste. Tyla and Nicole were the ones who came up with this great idea and it proved to be a really good one by taking our total number of boxes past the 3000 mark! We also received two other packages full of Colgate boxes; one from South Canterbury, and another one from New York, which was really exciting!
