CAKE STALL
APS Cake Stall — It’s time to get baking!
Please help us make the famous APS Cake Stall the sweetest spot at the APS Fair!
Next week we will be sending home our annual cake stall pack to all families
Each families' eldest child will receive your cake stall pack. Please check in school bags for this. The pack has 2 x plates, 2 x bags, tags and ribbons for packaging your baked goods, and an instruction sheet. Plus more packs are available in the office if you want to bake more than two items!
You don’t have to be a Masterchef!
We’d love every family to lend a hand by baking a delicious homemade treat (or two!). Simple is great. Think your favourite cake, cupcakes, slices, muffins, brownies, biscuits, cakes, meringues, cake pops, Honey Joys, ANZAC biscuits, Tic Toc Tea Cups… whatever takes your fancy!
The more goodies, the better — and every contribution is gratefully received and helps raise funds for the school!
Thank you for your support! Now get your baking on!
Any questions please reach out to feewright13@gmail.com, or natalieraedavis@gmail.com
#####################
REQUEST FOR DECORATION DONATIONS:
Dust off those old Halloween decorations and donate them to the school to help our sustainability goals. We are also keen for any Halloween themed craft items, especially orange or purple paper, cardboard or ribbons.
Drop-off to the box located in the Office with the lovely Lauren, or email us about larger items (we can collect!): aps.cfe@gmail.com

TRASHLESS TREASURE & BOOKS
Start collecting at home what you want to donate. PORTABLES now open!
Nb. Just repeating, there will be NO CLOTHING STALL this year. Massive thanks to the legendary Luisa for her huge effort and all the volunteers on this stall in past years ❤️
