Our Holy Redeemer School
A huge thank you to the OHR community!
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support the Our Holy Redeemer (OHR) School Fete over the weekend. An event of this scale takes an enormous amount of effort, generosity and collaboration from local partners. We are incredibly grateful to all our sponsors, stallholders, entertainment providers, suppliers, volunteers, staff and families who helped make the 2026 OHR Fete possible.
Our generous sponsors and suppliers were critical in bringing our 2026 OHR Spring Carnival Fete to life. Our suppliers contributed valuable donations to the Silent Auction.
Whether you need professional services, are planning a party, looking for a family activity or simply want to shop local, feel free to show them continued support. We have featured details below should you wish to browse or save for future.

Your ideas can help shape our fundraising priorities!
As we look ahead to our upcoming OHR Spring Carnival School Fete in October, we're not just raising funds - we're creating opportunities to invest in projects and improvements that will benefit OHR students and our school community.
But we need your ideas!
The PFA is inviting the school community to think about what could make a meaningful difference at our school. Is there an area, resource, facility or project that you believe could enhance our children's education, wellbeing or school experience? Perhaps there is an idea that could create a lasting benefit for future students and strengthen our school community.
Funds raised through events such as the upcoming school fete can be directed towards initiatives that:
- directly benefit our student's education and welfare
- provide a lasting, medium to long-term benefits for our school; and
- support one-off projects or capital improvement may not otherwise be funded through the school's regular budget.
Ideas can range from upgrades to audio visual equipment, outdoor facilities and school resources.
We would love to hear your ideas – big or small! Your proposal could help inform our FY2027 fundraising priorities and help turn the hard work and generosity of our school community into something tangible that benefits current and future OHR students.
Have an idea? We'd love to hear it!
Please complete the PFA Funding Proposal Application Form linked here and share your suggestion. You don't need to have all the answers! If you have identified something that could make a positive difference, we encourage you to put your idea forward.
As we enjoy the fun and excitement of the upcoming School Fete, let's also remember the bigger purpose behind it: Profits raised will be reinvested into making our school an even better place for our students and community.
Have your say, share your idea, and help shape what we fund next.
