Are you creative but struggle to find time for arts and crafts? If the answer is yes, this is the opportunity for you! The market team are hosting a fun day of art-making and crafting at BNWPS:

 

Sunday 25 August 11am-3pm

Art making for the art auction – draw, paint, collage to your heart’s content in the art room (western end of the Multifunction Room); please BYO tools & materials (brushes, paints, pencils, canvas, paper etc).

Crafting for the makers’ market – in the Multifunction Room; make scrunchies, hairbows, wheat bags, cushion covers, fabric plant holders etc; again, kindly BYO tools & materials (sewing machine, fabric etc).

This is an opportunity to create some items for the art auction and makers’ market, gather, and have fun with members of the school community. Bring a plate to share, a mug (tea and coffee provided) and enjoy the collective creative vibes. Kids welcome too, with parental supervision.

  MARKET ENTERTAINMENT

 

We are still on the hunt for some bands, choirs, solo performers for the market!

 

Are you part of a band and want some performance practice? Do you have an act or song you are keen to share? We are on the hunt for some magical market entertainment! Contact us HERE.

 

Please spread the word to those in our community, not just from the school to help make our magic market rock! 

 

SECONDHAND / PRE-LOVED MARKET STALL 

 

This week will be setting up a donation drop off point at the Culloden Street school entrance - so please look out for announcements on this!!

We’d love donations of:

  • fantastic pre-loved adult clothes, bags and shoes
  • good quality books
  • toys and games (soft toys ok too)
  • plants 

So if you’re planning an op shop run or a visit to a pre-love store, please keep your goods aside instead for the School market!! 

 

 

 

 

 

ART & SILENT AUCTION 

 

BNWPS Art Auction showcases the wonderful talent from both budding and established artists within the school community. If you would like to be involved, everyone is welcome, and all donations will be gratefully accepted. All kinds of creative works are accepted. 

 

Some ideas include:

 

  • Paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, collages, photography, textiles, quilts, and jewellery. Works on paper – unframed is fine but please use good quality paper or frame your work with a new or recycled frame.

 

This year we are introducing a Silent Auction to the market. Can you or someone you know donate? Whether you own a business, have a great contact, or even have something special at home to donate, the Auction is looking for a variety of bid-worthy items.

 

  • A fabulous product or voucher that showcases your brand or business
  • Donations of service or classes - pilates, massage, beauty treatments, art classes
  • A getaway somewhere - a beach house, farm stay, or a ‘staycation’ 
  • A dining experience – vouchers for restaurants/cafes, catering packages
