FAQ
Who is this website for?
Staff, families, and associates of Greater Blue schools (Staff & associates of Greater Blue schools (Nepean Christian School, Wycliffe Christian School, Mountains Christian College, and Kuyper Christian School).
Who can I request equipment for?
While the primary focus is to distribute equipment for the purposes of Christian mission and supporting families, we will consider any request.
Why is there a cost if the initiative is for charitable purposes?
In order to support the project, a considerable amount of time and resources goes into tracking and storing equipment, and coordinating the initiative. As a baseline, we set what we consider to be the fair market value of the equipment at the time it becomes available, and would cover administration of the project. However, the real cost will be assessed on a per-project basis.
