Fete Update

Planning for our fete is well underway. We’re six months out from the day, but we know we’ll need every minute of that time to make it the best fete ever – and we want as many people as possible involved.

Shout out and thanks to Luisa Pich (Olivia 2EB) for designing our fete flyer – it looks fantastic!

How you can help:

Thanks to everyone who has already volunteered, attended our kick-off meeting, and made donations.

Donations - We ask you to keep the donations coming – books, toys, good quality second-hand clothes etc. Please drop off at reception.

Raffle Guru - We still need a volunteer to run the raffle – this is always a big fundraiser for us and such an important part of the fete – we need someone to help coordinate, you’ll be well supported – please contact us via email below.

Green thumbs – The plant stall is always a main attraction at our fete so we’re call all gardeners to start propagating plants now to be ready for November.

Silent Auction & Sponsors – We’re still looking for businesses to get involved as a sponsor and/or to contribute to our silent auction – this is an opportunity to promote themselves in our community over multiple channels for months – it’s a win,win! Do you know anyone who could help?
