Two New Playgrounds!

Many families are aware of the exciting new playground project currently being funded by the P&F Committee. In addition to this, the Fete Committee has set an ambitious goal of raising $53,229 towards a second brand-new playground, planned for installation before 2027.

Together, these two playground projects will transform our outdoor spaces and provide incredible new opportunities for students to play, learn, connect and grow. This additional playground will create a modern, engaging and inclusive play space that will benefit our children 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:

Help Make the Magic Happen!

The Holy Spirit Fete can't happen without the support of our wonderful school community. As we work towards raising funds for a second new playground, we're looking for helpers, stall leaders and committee members to help bring this exciting event to life.

Join the Team

Whether you can help with planning, preparations, communications or on the day itself, we'd love to hear from you. No previous fete experience is required—just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved.

Interested? Email fete@holyspiritparish.org.au with your contact details to learn more about becoming a Stall Leader, committee member or helper.

Every helping hand brings us one step closer to another fantastic fete—and another fantastic playground for our students.

Jam Stall to close! 🍓

Without help the Jam Stall will close. We’re looking for someone to step in as our Jam Stall Coordinator this year.
