Ventura Books for Schools Program

In line with Ventura’s commitment to being a socially responsible company, it recently launched the ‘Ventura Books for Schools’ program. Through the program Ventura is contributing packages of take-home readers to primary schools across Melbourne.

‘Of the initial 28 schools selected to be part of the program, 16 came from our existing charter customer base and 12 were chosen randomly,’ says Ventura Bus Lines’ Managing Director, Andrew Cornwall.  ‘We plan to donate three boxes containing between 30 and 47 books to the participating schools over a nine-month period. The feedback we have received to date has been extremely positive.’
