Calling all parents, carers, friends, family, neighbours - everyone.

We've created an online sign-up form  for volunteers to help on stalls. Please join us by signing up to make the day run as smooth as possible.

We are hoping each family can offer 2-3 hours of volunteering - it takes many hands to make our beloved NPS fete work. 

Rosters are in 1-hour blocks so you can choose a few different stalls to help out on.

Drop off your Fete Donations at our Fete Shed :Located next to the basketball courts on the Henry St side of the school, our Fete Shed will be open for donations until the end of term.

  • Monday mornings (8.45 - 9am)
  • Monday afternoons (3.20 - 3.45pm)
  • Friday mornings (8.45 - 9am)
  • Friday afternoons (3.20pm - 3.45pm)

 

Please start bringing in your pre loved items such as clothes / books / toys / games / puzzles / bric-a-brac / bikes, scooters etc for our second hand stalls.Thank you in anticipation of your donations!

 

Seeking clothes, shoes, accessories! 

The fete committee are looking for clean, good quality, gently worn clothes, shoes, bags, hats & accessories. Clothes for both adults & children are welcome.

If you are dreaming of clearing excess clothing from your home and having slimmed down wardrobes, this is the perfect opportunity for you.  

 We hope to accumulate a good selection over the coming weeks. If you have clothes to donate, please bring them in a bag and drop them off at The Fete Shed during times listed above!

** No sleepwear, swimwear, underwear, socks, or clothes that have been loved too much please **

Book it in! Are your bookshelves bowing in the middle? Is that teetering tower of unread tomes next to the bed causing you guilt?  Then it’s time to send them onto a new home via next year’s Fete Book Stall. The Book Stall is back. It will be bigger, brighter and bookier than ever and we need your quality second-hand books to make it a super success. And you can now drop off your books at The Fete Shed during times listed above!

All genres are welcome but we’d particularly like donations of:

  • Holiday fiction, i.e. books which are popular reads for the holiday season
  • Kids fiction (preferably aged 6 to 12)

** Please do not donate textbooks (sadly, even though you really loved it, no one is ever going to read your 1989 Math A book) or IT books (older than three years), as these don’t tend to sell. **

 

 

Have an excellent weekend all, Sam 😊
