Volunteers to help at the Fete

As you are probably already aware, our much-anticipated school fete is happening on Friday 14th November 2025 and we need your help to make it a fantastic success! 

 

A big thank you to those who have already signed up to volunteer, your support is greatly appreciated. However, we're still looking for more wonderful helpers to fill various time slots throughout the day/evening. By sharing the workload, everyone can lend a hand and still have plenty of time to enjoy the fun and festivities. 

 

Please mark the date in your calendar, and if you're able to assist, we'd love to hear from you. Together, we can make this fete an unforgettable event for our school community!  

 

Sign up to volunteer on the night - HERE

 

Please contact us at newportlakesprimaryschoolfete@gmail.com if you have any questions.

As we ramp up preparations for the Twilight Fete, the planning committee is seeking your support!

 

We’re asking families to donate small items for our games and stalls. From now until Thursday 13th November, we’d love your help with the following donations:

 

 

 

Party-size Chocolates

Please donate small, individually wrapped chocolates for our popular Chocolate Toss game.

 

Lucky Jars

Looking for a fun holiday project with your child? Clean out empty jars and fill them with small treasures—think stickers, beads, wrapped lollies, Lego, slime, toys, pencils, and more! Completed Lucky Jars can be placed into the collection tub in the office. They’ll be sold at the Fete for $5 each.

 

Bake Stall

Start planning your delicious cakes and slices to donate for the Bake Stall! Please include a label listing all ingredients. Baked goods can be dropped off by 3pm on Friday 14th November.

 

Thank you for helping make our Fete a success!
