Schoolworks will be hosting various events for East Gippsland Winter Festival during the school holidays (1-12 July). 

Bookings are required for the following events, as spaces are limited to 20 children:

Disney 'Frozen' Themed Storytime : Dress up as your favourite Disney Frozen character and join in the fun at Schoolworks with our special Disney Frozen themed storytime and singalong. This event includes a Frozen themed art activity and a free super dooper icey pole for all participants. Frozen face painting will also be available.

These are FREE events.

The Lady Vanishes

Purchase a copy book of 'The Lady Vanishes' and we will donate 10% will of sales each month to the Go Fund Me page for Ghislaine Danlois at the end of each month.

Ghislaine was a victim of the international swindler Fréderic de Hedervary, aka Ric Blum, in 2006. At that time, she was a lonely widow living in Belgium where she met him for the first time and fell in love.
He was so persuasive and convincing that in a few weeks she agreed to follow him to Australia and marry him.
Ghislaine sold her house, her car, emptied her bank accounts and packed her luggage for what she believed to be a fantastic trip with her new lover.
But her dream turned into a nightmare. Her Prince Charming was actually a swindler and disappeared with her life savings and most prized possessions. At 72, Ghislaine was forced to start again.
While succeeding for a time, she is now almost 90 years-old, still healthy, but fast running out of money to live.
Ghislaine would like to be able to spend more time with her 13 grandchildren and visit her sons and daughter between France and Belgium more often.

**INTERNATIONAL BUYERS** We can post overseas. Please email us at books@schoolworkssupplies.com.au with your order and postal address. We will calculate the postage cost and email you a PayPal invoice for payment.
