RAFFLE TICKETS
Tickets have now gone home so please make sure you check with your eldest child. Last year’s fete donated $35,000 to the School and $35,000 to the Parish. The raffle continues to be a big part of our fete fundraising effort.
Tickets are $3 each ($30 per book) this year. If you can sell the tickets, that’s great! If you can’t sell any or all – no problems!
All tickets sold, plus any unsold books need to be return to the School Office or Parish House by Friday 20th September.
You can pay for your tickets by Cash, Cheque (made payable to ‘Holy Spirit Fete”) and via Trybooking using the QR Code or link:

EAT UP SNACK DRIVE
Last term the Grade Six students and teachers started a school snack drive for the not-for-profit charity, Eat Up - https://www.eatup.org.au
We are asking for your support by donating some school snacks to help this amazing charity (please note that Eat Up has asked for snacks to have no chocolate or nuts).
The CEO from Eat Up, Lyndon, is coming to our school in week 3 during assembly to collect the snacks.
This organisation does amazing work feeding hungry students in Australia. Here is a video if you would like to find out more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr9xRdmLeVc
We thank you in advance for helping hungry students in Australia and also for supporting the Grade Six cohort with their call-to-action drive.
