New Playground

You may have also noticed that a playground has already been installed and is almost ready for students to enjoy — however still needs to be paid for!

The Fete and P&F Committees are raising money for this fantastic addition to our school. Your support through purchasing Fete wristbands, buying and selling raffle tickets, and supporting our fete and P&F events are incredibly important.

Together with the upcoming 2027 playground project, these two new play spaces will provide amazing opportunities for our students to play, connect, learn and grow for years to come.

This year's fete is bigger and better than ever, with new and improved rides, amusements and skill testers provided plus an expanded range of food trucks and delicious food options for the whole family to enjoy.

Every ride enjoyed, ticket purchased, meal shared and volunteer hour contributed at this year's fete will help bring this exciting vision to life. See more info below:
