SCHOOL FETE

Excitement is building with the fete just a few sleeps away.  Everyone has done a fabulous job coming together to prepare for the event and the weather forecast is looking perfect, so it should be a great night. 

Previous fetes have been very successful, and this year’s will be no different.  The 2025 Fete will have something for everyone, with lots on offer for both children and adults. 

A fantastic range of food will be on offer, so tell everyone you know to come along and save themselves the job of cooking for the night.  For sale will be pulled pork rolls, curries, baked potatoes, pizza, sushi, dim sims, hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers.  Vegetarian and Gluten Free options will be available in the canteen. The bulk of food sales will be happening in the courtyard, but you’ll also find a BBQ down near the basketball court.

There will also be plenty for those looking for a treat, including fairy floss, pancakes, the cake stall, ice cream, popcorn and lollies.  Those looking to quench their thirst will find soft drinks, juices & for purchase. For the adults who would like a little time to relax, there will be wine tasting and craft beer tasting out the front on the synthetic turf.  Adults looking for a coffee will find that on sale in the canteen.

Parents who enjoy market stalls will be happy to hear that, at this stage, we have 15 external market stall holders coming along to display their wares.  They’ll be down on the oval.  And that’s in addition to the range of stalls being run by classes.

There’s a great range of activities for kids, so they’re in for a big night.  The buskers will be front and centre at the school entrance entertaining the crowd, while a team of 5-6 students be braving the cold water of the dunk tank down near the gym.  There will be face painting in the art room, carnival amusements on the old basketball court, footy kick and CFA demonstrations on the oval and much more.

Attached to this newsletter is a map, which tells you where all of the various stalls and activities are located……that will give you a sense of the scale of what’s on offer on Friday night.

All of our classes are busy this week preparing for the event and thanks to the many parents who have been donating things and working behind the scenes to help us help us get organised. 

We look forward to bringing the school and broader Buninyong community together on Friday night for what will be a significant community event.
