RIPPSTOCK CARNIVAL - SMILING FACES WE WILL SEE!

The rides are booked, the entertainment is taking shape, the stalls are coming together and soon you can donate!

There’ll be singing and dancing, and a fun-filled day. So get amongst it families; it’s the Ripper way!

Rippstock Talent Show

Get ready for the ultimate talent showdown at this year's fete! We're calling on all young stars to bring their A-game. Whether it's singing, dancing, mind-blowing magic, instrumental prowess, or gut-busting comedy, we want you to shine on our stage!

Auditions kick off early in term 4, so students - start planning your act now! Go solo or team up with friends (up to 5 in a group). Remember, you've got just 2 electrifying minutes to dazzle us. Don’t miss this chance to be the star of the show—get your creative juices flowing and wow us with your talent! Stay tuned for more information about how to enter, coming early next term.

Calling All Fashionistas

Start gathering up all your preloved designer clothes, nice labels and cool vintage pieces to donate to the Ripper Boutique stall for the Rippstock Carnival!

We’re looking for donations of good quality womenswear, menswear and kids; all those beautiful pieces you no longer reach for in your wardrobe but would love to see living their best lives on somebody new.

All donations will help raise money for our beloved school. What better time than the school holidays to rummage in closets and offload those beautiful garments that are taking up valuable space in your wardrobe.

You’ll be able to drop your treasures into the office during the month of October.

You can also pass your pre-loved clothes onto Charlotte or Sonny Adorjan (Essie’s parents - Foundation), Julie Pearce (mum of George -yr4 & Henry yr2), or Laurel Davis (mum of Clem - yr4). Laurel will also be able to take donations at the uniform shop on Friday mornings.

So get gathering!

Love, The Ripper Boutique x

During the month of October, you’ll be able to drop your donations into the school office, so start your Spring clean today!

Silent auction

Thank you to those that have already offered items to the Silent Auction.

We are still keen to know if you or your contacts can donate any extra items, particularly any families that have holiday houses.

We are hoping to run the best silent auction yet and we know we can do it with all of you! If you have any donations or know of a business who’d be willing to donate, please contact Emily Smith (Harriet & Daisy’s Mum – Foundation & Grade 2) emwoodsmith@gmail.com .

Donate 2-hours of Your Time

There are plenty of jobs on the day to help make this the greatest event for the kids and our community.

Whether it’s cooking sausages, selling tickets or bracelet-making, there’s a gig for every parent/carer. Don’t wait - get involved and pop your name on the roster!
