CALL OUTS!

We’ll be officially calling for donations after the school holidays for our beloved bake stall, second-hand book stall and our Craft and Jewellery store, so here is your head start to start prepping during the school holidays:

The Bake Sale: Dust off your aprons and start planning your signature sweet treats.

Second-Hand Books: Clear out those bookshelves and gather your pre-loved reads!

Crafts & Jewellery: We'd love to stock the stalls with your beautiful handmade items. And to all FPS Kids: We absolutely love featuring creations made by our students, so grab your art supplies and get crafting!

Volunteers: We will need lots of volunteers for the day, so if you can ask your former students, family, your neighbours, your nearest and dearest to spare an hour or two, we would love that! The volunteer sign up sheet will be circulated in early Term 4!
