TRIVIA FUNDRAISER 28TH AUGUST

🎁Fab or Flop – Lucky Dip Donations Wanted!

Got an unwanted gift hiding in the back of a cupboard? A quirky item you've never used? Or something that's actually pretty fabulous? We're calling on our school community to help stock our Fab or Flop lucky dip for Trivia Night!

For just $5, players will pick a mystery prize... but will it be fab or a flop? That's all part of the fun!

From 27 July - 14 August, we're collecting donations. Have a clear out of those gift drawers, cupboards and shelves and drop your Fab (or Flop!) donations into the collection box at the school office. No item is too small as long as everything donated is brand new and valued at $5 or more.

This could include items such as candles, novelty socks, coffee vouchers, kitchen gadgets, hand wash sets, small homewares, stationery, or similar unused gifts you may have at home. The more weird, wonderful and unexpected, the better. Thanks for helping make this a fun fundraiser!

🎁 Silent Auction Donations Needed!

Our Trivia Night Silent Auction is going online this year, meaning everyone can bid – even if you can't make it on the night! To make it a huge success, we're on the lookout for amazing donations. Think accommodation stays, restaurant vouchers, experiences, spa treatments, tickets, or anything a little bit special. If you own a business, work for one, or know someone who might be able to help, we'd love to hear from you. Every donation helps us raise more for our school community.

🧠✨Trivia Night is Calling…  

There are only 3 tables left, so now's the time to lock in your spot! Grab a group of family or friends and book a table, or come along on your own – we'll happily find you a team and it's a great way to meet some new people.

Our annual Trivia Night is always one of the highlights of the year, with plenty of laughs, friendly competition and a whole lot of fun. We'd love to see you there!

🎟️ Tickets are available now on Qkr! Don't leave it too late – once those last tables are gone, they're gone!
