Children and parents say they aren't always sure what #CostoftheSchoolDay support is available in their schools. Here's a brilliant creative approach from young people @StJOHS to highlight all of the things their school can help with - "school shouldn't cost - let us help!" 🙌

[Laura Mitchell @LMitchell_SLC]

Love this we’ll done @StJOHS 👏🏻

[St John Ogilvie HS @StJOHS]

Well done to our Cost of the School Day photographers. We LOVE these colourful posters advertising how we can help @StJOHS
