TIME TO SIGN UP AND VOLUNTEER

The Fete volunteer roster is now live, click here - SKiPPS FETE SIGN UP.

There is a huge array of activities to assist with and opportunities to get involved whilst enjoying time with friends and meeting new parents.

There are over 250 hours of volunteer time required to make the fete a success, so we are asking for as many parents as possible to get involved on the day including extended family members if they can help for an hour or two. We also encourage students to volunteer with their parents, particularly on the class stalls.

OLUNTEER HAPPY HOUR

All volunteers on the day will also receive Happy Hour priced drinks at the bar from 5-6pm to say thanks. A hard-earned thirst deserves a discounted beer!
