In-store Fleur and Adam. For
so many of the team, it’s the
beginning of their journey at
Officeworks, and we look forward to
supporting them build their careers
with us in the future.
To celebrate the store opening
and demonstrate its ongoing
commitment to making a positive
difference in the local community,
Officeworks Mentone donated
$2000 each to six deserving local
community groups – Mentone
Primary School, Southern Autistic
School, Mentone Park Primary
School, Compass Community Care,
Mentone Pre-School and Bayside
Special Development School.
The community groups were invited
to the Official Ceremony on 22 March
to receive their donation, and speak
about what the funds were going
to be used for. As well as receiving a
donation, Mentone Primary School
also made their student choir
available on the day to provide the
soundtrack for the special occasion.
The ceremony was also the first time
we presented a store with a plaque
created by Indigenous artist Jeremy
Donovan, demonstrating that as a
business, we value our history and
our Indigenous culture.
Customers turned out in their
thousands on the Grand Opening
on 23 March which involved lots of
fun activities for families including
tech demos, art workshops, games,
giveaways, a DJ, jumping castle,
children’s entertainers, face painting,
community BBQ and lots more.
There was a great vibe in the store
on the day, and we hope that vibe
continues long into the future.
