Amongst the fun will be a version of egg and spoon, poison ball from China, sack races with a twist from Sweden, hula hoop jumping races from India, Flip 5 from the USA and lots more! The games will be coordinated by our wonderful HEPS teachers and staff so just listen out for announcements on how to make your way through the activities.
The Parents’ Association will be selling food and drinks between 5pm and 7:30pm. At this event we will be selling Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Vegetable pies, soft drinks and water. There will also be an Ice Cream truck there on the night. Families are also very welcome to bring along a picnic dinner, picnic rug or chairs and enjoy a relaxing meal and evening with the HEPS community.
