School Fete update

Wow, it’s hard to believe that we only have 4 weeks to go. It’s certainly coming around fast! For those that may have missed this information, here is an update on the fete.

We have (just a snapshot) lots happening at the fete, including:

We have 7 new and different amusements
We’re bringing our pizza oven out of retirement
We’re most definitely going to be soaking some teachers and maybe some special guests
We have lots of grade stalls on offer, including the ever popular chocolate toss
We hear that Highway Patrol might be stopping by…
Our stage is crammed full of entertainment
There is fairy floss - enough said
We’re getting rid of Zooper Doopers and replacing them with ice cream
Bunnings, Altona Life Saving Club and AusKick are stopping by
And much much more!

Volunteering:

Without parents/ guardian support, we can’t run the fete - it’s as simple as that. This year we need you more than ever as our fete grows bigger and better. We need volunteers to help make our day a success - every bit helps.

Please ensure you check our sign up page and help where you can - it’s a big job for 10 people to do! We just ask that you have a valid Working With Children’s check to do so.

Click on this link (and don’t think for one minute that traffic management isn’t a job for you - it’s integral to the day) and sign up today. If you do volunteer, make sure you sign up for one of the briefing sessions too - everyone who is volunteering must attend a session (scroll to the bottom of this link).

Hot tip - sign up early as all the best spots go!

Chocolate Drive:

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the chocolate drive this week - we can’t wait to see the results.

We know our chocolate toss stall will be brimming with chocolate thanks to you.

Bake Sale:

A post about the bake sale will be coming on Monday so please keep an eye out for that.

Wristbands and showbags:

Letters will be sent home with details on costs and how to order towards the middle of next week. We are offering a pre-sale discount to our school community.

Ticket only event:

Talking of pre-event purchases, we’re delighted to announce that w/c 24th March we will be selling tickets morning during drop off and during pick up ALL WEEK.

These tickets are for the fete as this is a cashless/card event on all our stalls (except the Community Market where businesses shall be). You will be able to pay by card and cash at 3 ticket stalls at the fete and make gold coin donations there.

Donations:

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far - we genuinely can’t thank you enough.

We’re still in need of the following:

Tomato sauce - 6 more needed
Cans of coke
Cans of lemonade
Cans of Fanta
