🎟️🍿I couldn’t be more proud of the St Luke’s fete/fair on Friday night…

The team that put in countless hours to make it happen, THANK YOU simply isn’t enough.

There are far too many people to thank individually and I would hate to miss anyone, you know who you are. I hope you are so proud of our fete 2025.

However I have to thank Raathika, You are a magician! Literally the driver and one true constant.

Aleesha the entertainment Queen, the atmosphere was magical, the talent quest incredible.

Ms Allan, the contact between school and home. The time and dedication you put in goes well and truly up and above any teachers role.

Tyler, Hayden and Matt, the work you put in to organise food- amazing.

There were people who organised donations, teachers who baked, people who organised market stalls, families who donated prizes, there were food, drink, and sound people. Families and teachers helped on the night, community members celebrated with us, donated prizes and purchased tickets. Parents helped sell ride bands, muscles who moved tables, people who printed, designed flyers, advertised and collected things. There were face painters, MCs, people and students who helped setup, pack up and clean up.

To the broader community and businesses who donated prizes big and small, profit could not be made without you, your generosity is so appreciated. Our spinning wheel, silent auction and prizes wouldn’t have happened without you. The market stalls, ride company, farm and places we hired from, thank you for coming along.

Thank You to Mayor Sali who helped judge, incredibly talented musicians Nigel Parsons and Sophie Fimmel who gave up their time to share their talents with us. Shepparton search and rescue we were so lucky to have you there, yet again volunteering your time to share your important work and passion.

The kids in the talent quest, oh you were all so brave, clever and entertaining. Your hard work was so evident on the night. The incredibly generous donation from Andy for the talent quest prizes is beyond appreciated. Miss Monk and Mrs Austin thank you for giving up so much of your time to help the contestants rehearse.

To those who attended, that’s what it’s all about! Thank you for coming along, to enjoy the night and help us raise funds for our wonderful school (we should have figures this coming week).

Nights like Friday simply do not happen without a team of people, it takes years to plan, months to execute, hundreds of hours in dedication and unseen work…. But I see you, I appreciate you, I know what you’ve put in. When you see the culmination of dedication all combined with families sharing a meal, kids running around having fun, and it turns out, as it did on Friday… perfectly ( albeit a few glitches….maybe a few more!!!) it makes you stand back, feel proud and so grateful for a community and friends nothing short of amazing.

There isn’t a THANK YOU big enough… 🎡🎢

All that needs to be done is a booking at a cafe/restaurant etc and a flyer to go home ✏️☕️

💐🎁This year was a big year for our school, lots of changes, new faces and exciting things happening.

There is always a dedicated team of community group members who are always there, ready to help, jump in and ensure every event goes ahead. THANK YOU. Without you and your constant efforts, things like hot dog day, shrove Tuesday and Mother’s Day stall and Fathers' Day breakfast wouldn’t be possible. 🎁💐

Everyone is always welcome to come along to Community Group meetings, share ideas about new events, or suggestions about where you’d like to see funds spent… the ST LUKES COMMUNITY GROUP includes ALL OF YOU.

Next meeting will be early in Term 1- date TBA. New roles and opportunities to help are open to all.

👚👕Pre Loved Uniforms:👔🧢

*EFTPOS now available*. Thank You Michelle and Aimee for opening the shop regularly throughout the term, organising and doing all the behind the scenes, so we can have access to the second-hand uniforms. If you have any uniforms you no longer need and would like to donate to the uniform shop for a second life, please drop them in at the office. There have been lots of requests for shirts, especially in smaller sizes.
