St Joseph's Primary Christmas Fete 

TWO MORE SLEEPS

Saturday 23rd November, 11am - 4pm

Only 2 Sleeps to Go Until Our Highly Anticipated Christmas Fete!

The countdown is on, and this Saturday promises to be the biggest day of the year at St Joseph’s!

 

This exciting event is not just a celebration of the strength of our incredible school community but also an opportunity to make a lasting difference for our children. All funds raised will go toward upgrading the astroturf on the back playground, creating a vibrant and enjoyable space for our students.

 

A massive thank you to everyone who has been donating items, collecting contributions, and organizing stalls and activities. This is everyone’s fete, and it’s been amazing to see our community come together and pitch in.

 

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated Parents and Friends Committee and the Fete Working Party for their tireless efforts and commitment throughout the year. Your passion and hard work in preparing for this special day are deeply appreciated.

 

Please read the detailed Fete information below to ensure a wonderful and memorable event for everyone.

If the weather turns unexpectedly, we have a back-up plan—stay tuned for updates. Pets are not permitted at the fete, so please leave them at home.
