OHR School Fete 2024

The PFA committee has been discussing a revival of the OHR School Fete in October 2024.  Hosting a Fete is a wonderful way to engage with our school and wider community, as well as providing students with leadership opportunities.  However, events of this scale aren't possible without an army of volunteers.    

To determine if we can provide a Fete in 2024, we are calling out for parents with experience and/or an interest in the following areas to form a Fete Committee to support planning and implementation

  • Event co-ordination
  • Marketing/PR
  • Managing volunteers/sign-up sheets
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer 
  • Managing site logistic (incl. rides/activities, stalls, set up and pack down)
  • Decorations and theming
  • Managing Silent Auctions
  • Sponsorship
  • Food/drinks (stalls, vans, BBQ, etc.)
  • Booking activities (e.g. musicians/AFL Football players)
  • Booking rides and external tables/chairs/etc.
  • Co-ordinating Stalls e.g. White Elephant/Bake sale/Clothing/Books/Plant Stalls (the committee proposes a stall could be allocated to each class with parents organising/overseeing on the day)

The Committee invites expressions of interest by emailing pfaohr@ohrsurreyhills.catholic.edu.au by Friday 27th October. Please note down if you are interested in a specific role or if you are happy just to be involved in any role where there is a need. 

Thanks for your support!
