SKiPPS Fete 2026
The SKiPPS Fete is just days away, and the excitement around our school is building!
Keep an eye out for the Fete program in children’s bags this Friday, and be sure to follow us on Facebook for the latest updates about everything happening on the day.
🙌 Volunteer & Win
VOLUNTEER
It’s not too late to sign up for a volunteer slot to help things run smoothly on the day.
Congratulations to Lillian Rudd, the winner of our Volunteer Prize Hamper for signing up early — thank you for helping make the fete possible!
At the moment only around 50% of volunteer spots have been filled, and we still need plenty of help — particularly later in the afternoon.
There are 150 volunteer slots in total, which works out to roughly one slot per family, so if you can spare just one hour on Saturday it will make a big difference.
Many hands make light work — please sign up here: Sign Me Up
