Letter to Santa
It’s that time of year again. Australia Post is bringing
Christmas to life for another generation of Aussie
kids with Santa Mail.
It’s a great way to get young kids excited about
practicing their writing skills and the best part is they
can look forward to a response from the big man
himself. Just make sure each letter has a return
Australian address (so Santa’s little helpers know
where to send his reply) and a 65c stamp on the
envelope. Santa Claus Address: Santa Claus, North
Pole,9999
For more information or to send a letter online
please visit (auspost.com.au/education/santamail)
Students in year 3 / 4 will write letters in class and
will be sent through the school. Students will still
receive a reply from Santa.
