2025 Fundraising

Silent Auction

Our major fundraising initiative for 2025 is a Silent Auction which will be held during the Arts Festival on Friday 5 September, adding even more excitement to the event.

 

The money raised will go directly towards fixing our hall floor and start to make essential improvements to the space which is used by students across all year levels.

 

A silent auction is a type of auction where people place bids on items without an auctioneer calling out the bids. Instead, it's done quietly, with bidders writing their bid for a particular item on a paper bidding sheet. At the conclusion of the auction, the person with the highest bid wins the item and pays that amount.

 

All items will be on display in the O’Brien Resource Centre (College Library) which is where you can place your bid. Placing bids commences at 3:30pm and closes at 6:00pm. The winning bids from the Silent Auction will be announced on the night, with EFT facilities available for payment.  

 

We already have an amazing array of items ready to receive bids, from artwork to plants, vouchers to gym memberships, a farm stay to the opportunity to meet Guy Sebastian....there is something for everyone to bid on. Thank you to the following generous donors:

 

  • Amy Compton

  • Anne Haward

  • Annie Ellis

  • Cassandra Taylor

  • Kate Gordon

  • Melinda Walters

  • Murphy Family

  • Paul Turner

  • Plantz Indoorz
