Families of St. Fidelis – there is ONLY 3 WEEKS until our much-anticipated COMMUNITY DAY EVENT!
The P&F is getting really excited about this day and there is A LOT of behind-the-scenes organisation and planning occurring. We want this day to be FUN, ENGAGING and SUCCESSFUL for the school, but for this to happen we NEED YOUR HELP!
Below (under the Community Day information), you will find a link to SIGN UP and assist us at one of the stalls/activities that will be run on the day. It is imperative that we have enough volunteers assisting us at this event. The day can’t and won’t possibly run if it is left to the P&F committee and St. Fidelis' Staff. We ask that you spare as much time as you can assist us, ask family and friends who are attending too, if they have some spare time.
The stalls/activities are easy to run and will be organised prior, you are just required to man them, make them enjoyable and collect money. SO PLEASE - if EVERY SINGLE FAMILY could pop their names into a time slot, we would be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.
And don’t forget to spread the word about the Community Day to all your family, friends, sporting clubs, dance clubs, kinders, etc… the more people we have attending on the day, the more successful the event will be! Thank you, P&F Committee.
