1. Invite the THUMB show
|
| no. of students attending | school receives |
|---|---|
| 100 | $100 |
| 200 | $200 |
| 400 | $400 |
| 600 | $600 |
The school's guidance will of course be needed, but the responsibility of selecting a project and administering the money lies with the students.
This is all about re empowering kids with RESPONSIBILITY. Ideally, but not necessarily, it is a student led project.
The student councillors have already been earmarked as having some desirable qualities. Though this scheme encourages all students to participate this is an excellent opportunity for a child with that little bit extra to run with an idea and show us what they are capable of.
Along the way WE get to give back to kids the one thing our over protective, over litigious society is intent on keeping from them, that life enriching sensation called Responsibility.
That being said there may well be a teacher who has an idea and the drive to see a project through. Schools need not engage in a project to receive the project ignition money. Just by booking and hosting the show schools automatically receive their 20% rebate to do what they will with.
However to encourage schools to engage the THUMB ideals and start a project there is the THUMB Award.
4. Big or Small, Any School
Could Win the $5000 Award
The T.H.U.M.B show alone is invaluable for your students. Add to that the benefits of engaging in an authentic learning project and you have already exceeded what any other school show can offer. But that's not enough for us. We want to encourage you to keep going and build on what your school has accomplished.
To recognise your efforts and to motivate you further there is the yearly T.H.U.M.B award.
Entry into the award is free. Go to the Award page on this website and complete the simple entry form. Innovative and lateral thinking will be key criteria. All schools, big and small, have equal chance.
The winning school will win $5000 prize money.
There are no strings attached to this money. Your school is free to spend it as they wish.
The students get a hilarious show and buckets full of moral fibre. The school gets money, teaching opportunities and a crack at $5000.
Decide for yourself. Invite the T.H.U.M.B. show into your school (we know you'll love it). If for any reason it's not what you expected we'll refund the entire cost of the show. No questions asked. That's our guarantee to you.
A Holistic Approach
to Strengthening the Character
of Australian Kids
A single visit to your school by the T.H.U.M.B program will benefit your students enormously. However this program has been designed around the T.H.U.M.B program building an ongoing relationship with the school over four years and it is here that the greatest benefit will be realised.
Please be very clear that there is no commitment on your schools part. You do not commit for 4 years. You only book and pay for one show at a time. We are, however, very sure you will want our new found relationship to continue.
| ------- | Yrs 4567 | YrsP123 |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Year of Visit | T.H.U.M.B 1 | Anti Bully |
| 2nd Year of Visit | T.H.U.M.B 2 | Resilience |
| 3rd Year of Visit | T.H.U.M.B 3 | Teamwork |
| 4th Year of Visit | T.H.U.M.B 4 | Reading |
You get a new T.H.U.M.B and Thumbledoo show every year, for 4 years. The performances are totally new and fresh but the core message is the same and they’re all equally hilarious.
This rotating 4 year program can see a child through their entire primary schooling life. This holistic approach provides a sense of continuity to the teaching of Australian Values and promotes a sense of pride and belonging to a unique Australian school community that wants to, and does, makes a difference.
