1 Fete News #1 Welcome everyone to the 2018 school year and the first 2018 Fete Newsletter! You may have been wondering if we are going to continue running the fete with the scaffolding and building works still underway. The answer is a resounding YES! The fete is our largest fundraising & community event of the school year. It s an opportunity for us to build stronger community relationships whilst raising much needed funds for the school. The funds raised go towards improving facilities, updating technology, redeveloping playgrounds, providing additional educational resources for the children and so much more. For these reasons, we will not let the building works stand in our way of running another wonderful fete for our community and for the school! There are numerous ways that kids, families, businesses and the wider community can get involved and help us make the day a huge success. Please take the time to read this information and print out the KEY DATES & DONATION SUMMARY for easy reference. We look forward to another great fete with or without scaffolding in our way!!
