Australiana Trivia Night

What a ripper of a night! 150 crazy Aussies packed into the School gym on Friday 11th October for a bonza night of fun and entertainment! Thank you to everyone for making a top effort in joining in with the Australiana theme – we had a parade of sporting legends, good old Aussie Farmers, a pack of Aussie Bogans, some “Crikey” Crocodile Hunters, Footy diehards, Bananas in Pyjamas, a table of Pollies and even the Wiggles made an appearance! The night was filled with brain teasing Aussie Trivia, lots of dancing, fun, games and laughter! The crowd dug deep and came out with a truckload of awesome prizes and auction items. The smiles on the punter’s faces were priceless……particularly the ones that won the Aussie Meat Tray raffle!

Our events wouldn’t be a hit and run smoothly without the support of the school and local communities so we would like to say a huge thank you first of all to the families that were able to donate to our night, we had some amazing donations this year which were hotly contested in the Silent and Live Actions. A big thank you also to the local businesses of Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds who were extremely generous, please continue to support these great businesses by shopping local. A special mention and thank you to Jellis Craig Real Estate for their continued support of our school and events with a $500 donation and for running the very successful Live Auction on the night. To those who rolled up their sleeves and pitched in along the way and on the night - Naomi, Fi, Shona, Jen, Julie, Jackie, Kristy - Thank you! And finally to Sandra Monaghan, who always provides unwavering support to our fundraising activities no matter how late or crazy our requests are!

The night was a huge success and will be the talk of the playground for weeks to come! We have no doubt that the fundraising total will show that we raised plenty of moolah, but we’ll have to let you know another day……….

Until next time, hooroo!
