🎡 Essex Heights Carnival – Final Countdown!

The Essex Heights Carnival is just around the corner — Saturday 29 November — and excitement is building! Following are the ways you can help make it our best one yet

🍬 Final Lolly & Chocolate Donation Day

This is our final donation request before the big day!

Please bring in chocolates and lollies on Tuesday 11 November and hand them to your classroom teacher to help stock our Carnival Lob-a-Choc and Lolly stalls. Please ensure the expiry date is July 2026 or later. Donations can be brought to classrooms or to the tub in Office reception.

Thank you for your wonderful support — we’re almost there!

💫 Silent Auction – Donations Now Open!

We’re now collecting items for the Carnival Silent Auction.

If you, your workplace, or a local business would like to contribute, we welcome items, services, or vouchers valued at $50 or more.

All donors will receive a plug for their business on the auction site, reaching our school and wider community.

Donations can be handed in at the school office or you can contact Caz at 📧 ehps.carnival@gmail.com to arrange collection or discuss your contribution.

🎁 Silent Auction – A Huge Thank You!

A big shoutout to our amazing Silent Auction sponsors! Thanks to their generosity, our Carnival is going to be extra special:

Make sure you check them out and show them some love – they’ve supported us, now let’s support them!

🍔 Grab a Bite & Help the Carnival!

While you’re out and about, don’t forget Grill’d at Burwood One! Throughout November, every token you drop in their ‘Local Matters’ Fundraising Jar helps our school - let’s aim for $300 for the Carnival! One token = one vote for our school, so get dropping.

🎟️ Carnival Tokens & Wristbands – Early Bird Still Available!

Get ready for all the fun at the Essex Heights Carnival by purchasing your tokens and wristbands early!

Ticket Options:

🎢 Ride Wristband – Unlimited rides all day (for one person).
🎫 Tokens ($3 each) – Use for class-run games, creative stalls, and select food stalls.

Take advantage of our early bird pricing (closes on Monday 4 November) while it lasts.

👉 Grab yours here: https://www.trybooking.com/CZJSM

Pre-purchase makes entry faster and the fun easier for everyone! 🎡✨

📦 Wristband & Ticket Collection

1️⃣ EHPS Families: Delivered to classrooms before Carnival Day.

2️⃣ General Public: Collect from the Ticket Booth on presentation of your TryBooking e-ticket.

📢 Help Us Promote the Carnival!

We’re looking for volunteers to help spread the word around our local community.

A fun walk around your neighbourhood or local shops is all it takes!

📬 Flyer Distribution Sign-Up: https://signup.com/go/XeDoouz

📌 Poster Distribution Sign-Up: https://signup.com/go/kdCfkfT

A big thank you to everyone who has already signed up — your help makes a huge difference. 💛

Remember, many hands make light work!

🙌 Volunteer at Your Class Stall – We Need You!

Good news: parents of the school do NOT require a WWCC to volunteer.

The Carnival cannot go ahead without the help and support of all our families. Last time, your contributions helped us fund new shade structures, stadium fans, and more!

This year, we want to smash that record, but we need everyone to pitch in. Even an hour on the day makes a huge difference!

🎉🎉 Lolly Stall volunteers are now complete — well done to the first class who filled all their spots! 🎉🎉
