SPRING FAIR NEWS

This term is going to be super busy but also super exciting because of the Spring Fair on Sunday November 15th.

I would like to acknowledge the work of the Spring Fair Committee and encourage families to support them in any way they can.

The Spring Fair is the major fundraiser for the school and this year will go towards the development of a cooking centre for our students.

For those families new to the school, the Spring Fair is held every second year and is the school's major fundraiser.  It is an opportunity for the community to come together and have a fun day.  The Spring Fair does rely on the willingness of parents to support with donations and time.

The Spring Fair Committee have put calls out for items to assist with some of the stalls and we thank everyone who has contributed by donating second hand children's books and toys, bottles of wine, jars of goodies, chocolates, etc.  Please bring any items to be donated to the school office.

Donations

If families have donations for our Choc a Toss stall, Wine a Wine stall or Jazzy Jars, could you please drop these to the school office.  

Donations of second hand children's toys and books can be delivered to the office or the portable behind the Junior Hall.

Information about Cake Stall donations will be sent out soon.

How Can You Help?

We are now in the process of having families sign up to volunteer on a stall.  As much as the Spring Fair Committee has everything organised, the event can't succeed without the willingness of the whole community to assist on the actual day.  

Which stall have you signed up to?

Stalls

Each class has had a stall assigned to them.  Please assist your Class Coordinator by signing up for a shift.  We know that some stalls are going to require more assistance than others.  If your class stall doesn't need you, please consider assisting other classes.

Each student will bring a book of tickets home for families to sell.  The tickets are $5 each. We ask that you send your sold and unsold tickets and money back to the school by Wednesday 4th November.  Parents can pay for raffle tickets via credit card before school from Wednesday 4th November.

Post Cards

Students will be writing a postcard to a family member of friend of the family inviting them to the Spring Fair.  If this is someone your child is unlikely to see before the Fair, please send a stamp and the address to school with your child and we will post it for them.

The Performing Arts Staff  will be auditioning students to participate in the Malvern's Got Talent show at the Fair.  We hope you enjoy the show on the day!

Student Art Show

The Visual Arts staff have organised a wonderful display of our students' art work, which will be on display in the Rec Centre on Fair Day.  Please come and view their work and bid on the student art that is up for Silent Auction.
