2. Transform Your Mother’s Day Stall

Mother’s Day stalls are a popular tradition that give students a chance to buy a special gift for their mum, grandmother, aunty or someone special as a surprise, but collecting cash and managing stock manually can be a challenge.

 With Flexischools, you can move your stall online. Some schools choose to sell pre-paid vouchers on Flexischools, so students can simply redeem this for a gift - it’s a nice way for students to be able choose the gift they want to give mum.
