A grant submission has been made to cover the costs of some buses where schools find they have difficulties with funds. If you are interested in being considered for support for buses, please fill in the application below. The grant will also offer free books to the children on those buses.

We aim to bring students from middle-upper primary to StoryArts Festival Ipswich 2024 and provide one free book per student selected by the student from the festival book shop. We may also provide some pre-festival visits to prepare students attending the festival in this project. We will also require feedback from the schools as to the impact of the visit on the students.

If the grant application is successful (and we may not know until May-June), funds will be allocated based on the school's ICSEA value and responses below.

We will let you know if we get the grant, and if your school is selected to be part of the program. This will all be sent via email.
