Thank you for helping us make Fete Day a fantastic day for our students, families and wider community! ❤️

Donations- NOW OPEN!

We are now accepting your generous donations of Books, Toys and Second-Hand Goods.  It’s time to declutter and donate those items that deserve a new home. 

We’re aiming to offer top-quality items, so we kindly ask that all donations be in great condition. Please avoid donating anything broken or unusable, as we want to provide the best experience for our buyers—and the disposal of unsellable items costs us money!

Remember if you wouldn't give it to your mate - don't donate!

You can drop off your donations in the green shipping containers located along the rear fence of the Parish House.

Donations will be accepted until Sunday 4 October 2026.  

LOB-A-CHOC – AMAZING EFFORT! 🎉🍫

WOW, Holy Spirit! What an amazing response to our Lob-A-Choc fundraiser. We collected so many chocolate blocks — our best year yet! 🙌🍫

A huge thank you to all our families for your generous donations and for getting behind Free Dress Day. And with only 5 blocks containing nuts, we’re stoked! 😂 Don’t worry — the staff and Fete Committee will find them a good home! A HUGE thank you to our wonderful volunteers who helped collect, sort and organise all the chocolate blocks. We couldn’t do it without you! 💙

A very special thank you to Ritchies IGA Ringwood North for supporting our fundraiser. Don’t forget to become a Ritchies Community Benefits Member and nominate Holy Spirit Community School — your shopping can help support our school!
