It’s time to prepare for the EcoFair on Wednesday June 9 in the secondary school!

One of the major benefits of customers spending their dollars with more sustainable companies is that there has been a BOOM in eco-friendly products over the past five years. However, those lame mainstream stores haven’t exactly caught up with the trends and don’t always include these dreamy green goodies on their shelves. SCEGGS, of course, knows that you are all DYING to check these products out, up close and personal, and so to celebrate World Environment Day, we are holding an Eco Fair! On Wednesday 9 June, we will be selling a range of sustainable products so that every SCEGGS girl can see how easy it is to find alternatives to the disposable, plastic-riddled options found in your average supermarket or pharmacy. 

We will be offering up:

  • Packs of reusable make-up pads – 5 for just $10
  • Stainless steel straws with pouch and cleaning brush – a *steal* at only $5… hehehe
  • Bamboo cotton buds – $3 for 100
  • Plastic Free, No Tangle hair ties in a range of colours – you get FIVE ties for $17
  • Shampoo and conditioner bars – get a set for only $12!!!
  • Keep Cups $4
  • COLOURED Bamboo toothbrushes – at just $7, that’s a reason to smile!

Examples of these products will be available on the screens around the school

We would also like to thank the local eco-warrior business, Flora and Fauna, for helping us to bring these products to you at a discount.

Come and check out our stall and grab some fab products before they sell out! We only have a limited range to sell.
