Twilight Fiesta - Saturday 2nd April, 2 - 6pm
We're excited to confirm that Carnegie Primary's Twilight Fiesta will be held on Saturday 2nd April, 2022 from 2pm - 6pm.
The theme of this year's fiesta is 'celebrating being back together' - a day that celebrates and connects our school families, local businesses, and community groups. The Fiesta will be filled with vibrant activities: rides, kids attractions, food stalls and a local market.
So pop the date in your diaries, cross your fingers for a sunny day, and watch out for exciting fete news over the coming weeks.
Calling local business to get involved in our Fiesta!
We have opportunities for local businesses who have an interest in:
- Sponsoring the fiesta: a range of sponsorship levels and packages are available, with various promotional benefits
- Hosting a market stall: we have space for a small number of local business to showcase and sell their products at the fiesta
Please contact us on pfa@carnegieps.vic.edu.au for more information on either of these opportunities.
We need your help to make the Fiesta a success!
The PFA has established some working groups to help organise various aspects of the fiesta. Please see the table below for an overview of these groups, who has already put their hand up, and – in red – where we need more people to get involved! There is also a description of the key tasks to be undertaken in each area ahead of the fiesta.
There are lots of ideas and resources available that have been documented by previous years’ fete and fiesta organisers, so rest assured you won’t be starting from scratch. Equally, it can be whatever working group members want to make it!
The planning can be done remotely, at whatever time suits you and other group members, so it is something that can fit around work and/or family responsibilities. It’s a great way to get to know other CPS parents, and really satisfying to bring an event to life for children and the broader school community - this is the year we all need it more than ever!
If you might be interested in getting involved, please email us at pfa@carnegieps.vic.edu.au, and feel free to give Sandra Michela a call on 0403 652 498 if you would like to know more or discuss further.
