OLA FETE 2026

Fete planning moves up a gear: Get on the ride

The fete committee is off and running.

Our full fete committee met at the end of term 1 for our first meeting and the core committee are coming together more regularly. Thank you to everyone involved so far.  

The staff room was full with enthusiasm at the kick-off full committee meeting with a group of parents with mixed experience: some who have been through many fetes and some fresh faces with new energy; the perfect mix for success! 

Be part of the excitement and fun!

We’re looking for volunteers to help lead some of our most successful stalls, including – Plants, ‘Crazy Hair’, & Books. 

These are all fete favourites and critical to the success of our fete – and are an easy way to get involved, give back for our kids, and have fun.

And – there’s plenty of experience of running these stalls in our community - so you

will be fully supported with a built in ‘stall coach’ to ask questions

Please email fete@olacheltenham.catholic.edu.au -  or chat to Rachel or Kim – if you are willing and able to help us with any of these stalls.

We can’t do it without our Sponsors: Please pay it forward

Our sponsorship team has been busy and is kicking goals – but we’re asking our wider community to also get involved. If you own a business or you have family or friends who do and your business would benefit from some additional community marketing – here’s the perfect opportunity. 

Or – if you have an incredible corporate network that you could reach out to for some shared value – then please do. 

We have a letter template to make it as easy as possible for you to ask. Email to geta copy.

And please support the businesses already on board, when and however you can,

nd let them know you’re part of the OLA community.
