Silent Auction

Our biennial IPS Fair is on 25th November (from 12pm-5.30pm) - please put this date in your calendars. This is our major fundraiser, and it plays a pivotal role in supporting various academic and extracurricular programs for your children, so there is an expectation that your family will get involved in some way.

Here are some options below;

If a business or organisation you have a relationship with has goods or services we can auction off in our Silent Auction, we would love to hear from you.

- each class at school is running a stall. Put your name down with your Class Rep to help out beforehand and at your stall on the day of the Fair

- each class is also required to do a piece of class art to auction off at the Silent Auction so we need helpers to assist with running this (again, see your Class Rep for more details)

IPS Fair : Student Stalls Information

Dear IPS families,

On Saturday 25 November 2023, Ivanhoe Primary School will be holding a school fair. Students at IPS are welcome to organise to have their own stall on the day from 12.00pm to 4.30pm. They may like to have their own individual stall or make a combined stall with other students. Table set up can begin from 11:00am on the fair day and must all be set up by 12.00pm. Information regarding the exact location of student stalls will be posted closer to the event. Stalls can be packed prior to 4.30pm if you wish.

No food items are to be sold at any student stall.

Each stall will have one dedicated stall space of 2m in length at a cost of $20. The school will provide each stall space with chairs and one trestle table - 1.8m in length. Any extra space needed for another table will be at a cost of $10. Students will need to have their own change float and organise their own undercover shelter /gazebo (up to 3m x 3m). It is the student and parent’s responsibility to supply all items required for the stall and to manage the stall on the day. Miss Kelly and Miss McCormick will be available for support on the day.
