Parents & Friends News 

Dear all,

 

It looks like we are going to have great weather for our FETE this Saturday 18 November 2023.

 

The Fete team have been working very hard over the last few weeks finalising all the finer details for this weekend. 

 

It may feel like we have over loaded you these last few weeks, and I apologise for that, we wanted you all to have the first choice of everything. 

 

Last week we sent out raffle tickets for our Major Raffle.  Could you please return to the school by tomorrow 17 November 2023 with the envelope we provided.  If you would like to purchase more tickets Liz will be at the buddy bench selling them.  The EFTPOS machine will be available for payment to  make it easier for you. Raffle Tickets will also be on sale on the day and will be drawn at about 3:30pm.

 

Cake boxes went out this week, if you could kindly bake some yummy sweets for our Cake Stall for Saturday, we would greatly appreciate it.  Please don’t feel pressured if you can’t or don't have time. If you cannot help by baking, please return the boxes to the school so we can use them at the Fete.  If you are able to bake please return your desserts to the office by Friday 17 November 2023. 

 

A try booking link was sent out this week for our games.  You can purchase $35 wrist bands on early bird UNLIMITED access for all the games, which includes the Jumping Castle, Basketball, Ring Toss, Bean Bag Toss, Obstacle course, Mini Golf, Guinea Pig petting. Early bird closes at midnight 17 November 2023. You may also purchase wristbands at the Fete on Saturday.  Individual activity prices  will be $6 each.
