Only 4 weeks to go until our Fantastic Fete! Make sure you have Saturday 14 November, 12 to 4pm, marked in your diary. We'll see you at 319 George St, Fitzroy. Everything we raise goes towards a new playground for Grade 3 to 6 at our Napier Street site.

What to expect

The dunk tank. The most anticipated event of the year. Bring your best aim and your loudest cheer. Scott will be the headline act!
Silent disco. Headphones on, dance floor non-negotiable.
Cardboard box maze. What better place to get lost in!
Live music, magic and comedy all afternoon. Luigi Zucchini always brings the gasps and the laughs.
Food. Crepes, boulangerie treats and an African feast, and that's just the start.
More fun for all ages. A downball tournament, face painting, henna, craft, crazy hair, carnival games and a quiet zone for kids who need a breather. A Tranquillity tea zone sponsored by T2 will also help the adults chill.

Silent auction now open!

The silent auction is open from 9am on Thursday 15 October, with more than 100 items donated by Fitzroy and Melbourne businesses and supporters.
