Promoting Education through Stamp Collecting: Sydney Youth Stamp Group Initiative for Primary Schools

Stamps in School Program

The educational value of stamp collecting is well-established, with many schools hosting stamp clubs as extracurricular activities. Recognizing the benefits of research, knowledge acquisition, and the joy it brings, the Sydney Youth Stamp Group (SYSG) is eager to support the introduction of stamp collecting into your primary school.

Program Overview:

1. Free Collecting Kits:

   SYSG offers a limited number of Collecting Kits and beginner stamp packets, including a stock book filled with stamps, all provided free of charge.

2. Educational Benefits:

   Engaging in stamp collecting enhances research skills and imparts valuable information on various topics, contributing to historical and geographical knowledge.

3. Enjoyable Activity:

   Beyond the educational aspects, stamp collecting provides enjoyable hours of engagement for young enthusiasts.

Implementation Guidelines:

• Contact Person:

  A designated contact person within the school will promote the program and distribute Collecting Kits and stamp packets to interested students.

• Stock Book Management:

  The stock book of stamps can be housed either with the contact person or in the library. Arrangements can be made for students to attend during lunch breaks or other agreed-upon times to swap stamps.

• Restocking:

  A designated person or avid collector can contact SYSG when more stamps are needed for the stock book. SYSG will provide the necessary stamps and additional packs free of charge.
