Using Photos
If you want to use a photo for your fundraiser, such as a commemorative plate for a sports or dance group or even a year 6 farewell gift, please make sure you have permission both from the photographer to use the photo (or take the photo yourself) as well as all parents of students who will be in the photo.
- Photos need to be high resolution (at least 300dpi)
- Dimensions: 1000 pixels by 1000pixels
- Just take the highest resolution you can and we will sort it out!
- We can add any text you like to the plate
Order Early!
Give yourself as much time as possible for this fundraiser. Consider the amount of lead time you want to give parents to order and also how much time teachers will need to facilitate the children's artwork.
