Fete

Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Chloe Li from 6EH who won our Fete Artwork Competition. You will notice Chloe's artwork in various locations around Blackburn advertising our fete.

Stall Rosters

All classes have now been allocated either one or two stalls to run on the day. A link to our online rosters has now been sent out. We hope all families are able to assist on their class stall for an hour or so.

Hampers

Attached is a list of the class hampers. Each class has been allocated a theme for their hamper (eg. Baking, BBQ, Books) and items donated will be packaged into lovely hampers to auction off at the Silent Auction. Each classroom has a basket for donations to be placed in. We would like all donations by 25th October please.

Second Hand Donations

We will be starting our collections for excellent quality second hand toys and second hand books next week. Items can be brought to the entrance of the Gym each Tuesday and Thursday from 8.45am to 9.00am. Please note we are not doing general “Trash and Treasure” at this year’s Fete, just toys and books.

Prizes only need to be very small, such as high bounce balls, scrunchies, rubbers, stickers, bubbles, hair clips etc (Kmart, Amazon and the local $2 shop are ideal for sourcing these items).

There are many ways you can become more involved with our Fete – from plant growing, wrapping of hampers, helping with set-up the day before the Fete and much more .
