By participating in this promotion entrants shall be deemed to agree to abide by these terms and conditions.

All sections of the registration form must be completed. 

Schools can only register once and registration can only be submitted by an official school representative. 

Schools can register at any time during the promotion but registrations must be received at The Sunday Times before the end of the promotion on Friday, October 17, 2003.

It is not possible to enter individual classes, individual years or a portion of the school population. 

At the time of registration schools must supply their total number of students (both part-time and full-time). 

They will be asked to confirm the number of students again at the conclusion of the promotion on the final tally sheet. 

The winners will be decided by tallying the number of tokens collected by the school and then dividing them by the total number of students in the school at the time the promotion concludes, October 17, 2003.

The tokens will appear in The Sunday Times every Sunday from July 27, 2003 until September 21, 2003.

Tokens from the 2002 School Bus promotion will be invalid and will not be accepted.

This section must be completed for the token to be eligible.

Copied tokens will not be accepted. The Promoter will not accept any claim that includes non-promotional tokens, tokens that are defaced, tampered with in any way, or from any source other than retail purchase.

Final tally sheets will be provided to registered schools and will also be available on the Win A School Bus website (www.winaschoolbus.com.au). 

These sheets must be completed by an official representative of the school and then faxed on 08 9421 1437 or posted to The Sunday Times School Bus Promotion, Reply Paid 174, Perth WA 6840 to be received by The Sunday Times by fax or mail by no later than 5pm Friday, October 17, 2003. 

Final tally sheets must include current total student numbers. 

Tally sheets received after this date will not be accepted and will not be included in the prize allocation process.

These schools will be required to make their tokens available to the auditor for counting. 

Schools must appoint a contact who will be available between Friday, October 17 and Friday, October 24 to ensure access to the tokens during this period.

Tokens are not to be pooled between registered schools at any stage during the promotion. 

Evidence of collusion between registered schools will result in all schools involved being disqualified. 

Unregistered schools who are not participating in the promotion are able to adopt and collect tokens for a registered school.

There is one major prize namely a 21-seat, licensed, Toyota Coaster Bus with a retail value of approximately $102,000 inclusive of GST. 

The French Vanilla coloured bus is a standard model with ducted air-conditioning, a turbo diesel engine, 6-speed manual transmission and power steering.

In the event that the winning school does not require a school bus, the school can opt to receive an alternative prize of $90,000.00 cash instead of the major bus prize. 

This cash prize will be received as a cheque made payable to the winning school.

Should the winning school opt to receive the Toyota Coaster, the vehicle will be licensed for 12 months from October 23, 2003, includes on-road costs and comes with a 3-year/100,000 km warranty, which also starts on October 23, 2003. 

Insurance will be the responsibility of the winning school.

A light rigid vehicle license is required to drive this bus.

The winner of the school bus (or $90,000 cash) will be the school that submits the greatest number of eligible tokens per total number of students (ie. total number of tokens divided by total number of full time and part time students) at the end of the promotion.

The winning school must decide whether to receive the school bus or cash and advise The Sunday Times by October 23, 2003.

The school bus (or $90,000 cash) will be presented to the winning school in the week after Monday, October 20, 2003. 

In the event that a regional/country school wins they will be required to make their own way to Perth at their own cost to collect the school bus.

The Sunday Times will award additional prizes for the schools that come second and third plus one prize for one randomly drawn school as follows:

Second Prize - A $15,000 multimedia package, to be selected from the range of electronic products available at Supply West Bookland.

Third Prize - A $10,000 multimedia package, to be selected from the range of electronic products available at Supply West Bookland.

Random Prize - A $5,000 multimedia package, to be selected from the range of electronic products available at Supply West Bookland.

The winner of the second prize will be the school that submits the second highest number of eligible tokens per total number of students at the end of the promotion at 5pm on Friday, October 17, 2003.

The winner of the third prize will be the school that submits the third highest number of eligible tokens per total number of students at the end of the promotion at 5pm on Friday, October 17, 2003.

The winner of the random prize will be one school drawn at random from all registered schools that send their final tally sheet in by 5pm on Friday, October 17, 2003. First, second and third prize winners will be excluded from this draw.

Secondary prize winning schools will be required to select their prizes from the Supply West Bookland catalogue after Monday, October 20, 2003 and before November 30, 2003.

If any of the secondary prize winning schools do not require multimedia equipment these schools can opt to select alternative electronic products from the Supply West Bookland range, to an equivalent value.

The secondary prizes will be delivered to the winning schools by Supply West Bookland within 28 working days of schools ordering their products from the Supply West Bookland catalogue.

The Sunday Times will offer all registered schools that complete and send in their final tally sheet by 5pm Friday, October 17, 2003, their choice of four computer software packages as a gift for their participation.

An order form will be sent to each participating school at the end of the promotion. 

Schools must fill out this form and return to the address listed on that form by Monday, November 17, 2003. 

Orders will then be processed and the selected software packages will be delivered to each participating school.

In the event of a tie between registered schools, in the total number of eligible submitted tokens divided by the total number of students, The Sunday Times will nominate a person to conduct a random draw in the presence of the Auditor, in order to determine the winner.

All prizes must be taken as stated, and are not transferable or redeemable for cash, unless otherwise stated.

The prizes to be claimed are supplied for use in schools and no other purpose.

The Sunday Times reserves the right at its discretion to substitute an alternative or similar product of a comparable value and similar to the prize claimed.

No claim for prizes damaged in transit or shortages will be considered unless The Sunday Times is notified within 3 working days of delivery. 

In the absence of such notification the school will be deemed to have accepted the prizes, subject to the conditions above.

For a school to receive newspapers each week for the full 9-week promotional period, they must place their order before Tuesday, July 22, 2003. 

Orders can be placed after this date however back issues of The Sunday Times for previous weeks will not be available and order costs will be amended accordingly. 

If a school places its order at any time after the first token week the school must place their order by the Tuesday of that current week in order to receive their newspapers for the next Sunday. 

Orders placed after Tuesday will only receive papers for the Sunday of the following week and every Sunday thereafter.

Participating schools must not send payment to The Sunday Times. A local delivery agent will invoice each school at the end of the competition.
