Room 13 take the lead!

What an amazing response so far with the second hand donations for our Fete. Points have been added and collected and Room 13 have moved into the lead of the class competition to win the class Nerf War Game! How long can they hold onto the lead? Do you still have donations at home that you can drop into the office? Our pile is growing everyday and there are going to be some great deals to be had! 

 Each class have decided what they will be doing for their stall at the Fete and preparations will soon be under way to be the biggest profit makers. I know teachers would love it if you could help out as this busy time gets closer. Just drop in and see them any time in class. 

 Check out the growing piles of donations...

Jars, Jars, Jars!

Wow! The PTA were so impressed and excited as we collected some amazing and very creative jars from the classes to be sold at our Fete in November. There are going to be some very happy jar shoppers especially if you love lollies!

Check some great examples out...

So I know you all want to find out the top classes in the charge towards winning the awesome Nerf Wars game. Remember each jar earned the class a point and the PTA voted for the top 13 jars that were awarded an extra 5 points each.

Drum roll please...
1st = Rooms 8, 9 and 15
2nd Room 16
3rd Room 2

Well done guys - a well deserved score.

Mufti Day Lucky Dips...

It was great to see everybody in their mufti clothes on Friday - so interesting to see everybody with such great style and taste! I even saw some beautiful princesses and brave super heros!

We had some wonderful donations of lucky dip prizes that we will be able to use for our Lucky Dip stall at the Fete. Below is just a few that we were able to have a sneak peak at, as they didn't get wrapped - some very exciting prizes - I will definitely need to visit this stall with my pocket money...

The winning classes Room 8 and 9 both achieved a wonderful total of 122% lucky dip prizes - some very generous people must have donated several prizes. This brings their running total up in the overall competition to put them in the lead- well done guys!

Class Competition gets started...

Well we have begun the class competition and have calculated percentages for each class. A point was given to each of those who returned the initial request form for offers of help during the Fete. A huge thank you to all those family and friends who have offered to help on the day - many hands make light work and we will be in contact with you closer to the time.

Drum roll please......the winning class at the top of the ranks so far is.....Room 12. Just because the PTA think you are awesome we are going to arrive in Room 12 with a little prize for them on Friday.

I am betting you are all excited to discover what the class reward will be for the overall winners. We can finally let you know that thanks to a very generous deal we will be taking the whole class to Nerf Wars for a class challenge and games! Check out their Facebook page to see what it is all about - so much fun with your whole class!

Forward thinking - what can I do?
We will have a large variety of stalls and as the Fete gets closer we will ask you to bring in different donations when you can. Start thinking about what you may have around the house that needs cleaning out - we will be having a White Elephant Stall, 2nd hand clothes, toys, books etc and so many more so don't throw anything away! All these donations will give you points towards your children's classes.

Fete Fun...

Welcome to our first post of the year. Term 3 is Fete time and the entire school will be buzzing with preparations for our biggest fundraiser of the year. This year the Fete will be held on November 12th from 12-3pm @ school.

This is a time when we can come together as a community and enjoy rides, fantastic food, games, raffles, a variety of stalls and some wonderful entertainment. Not only can we have an amazing day but we can make the event a great fundraising event. To do this we need the entire school community - students, parents, teachers and friends - to come on board to make it happen. Read on and follow this blog to see how you can do your bit to help us prepare for the Fete.

WHAT WILL THE MONEY BE USED FOR?
Everything we raise during the Fete will go towards the upgrade of various learning spaces within the school including the new heart of the school, the library.

CLASS COMPETITION...
As we move closer to the Fete we will be asking for a variety of donations and help. When you or your child help out in even just a little way points are earned for your class. We will have an ongoing list of where each class is placed in the race towards earning a great class fun day! We are currently in the process of confirming what this will involve but we will let you all know ASAP.

1ST EVENT - MUFTI DAY!
Friday 8th April will be our first Mufti Day for 2016. Just bring a Lucky Dip item, wrapped and labelled for a boy or girl. Perfect places to buy these are The Warehouse, K-mart, Uncle Bills and $2 stores. What would you love to win in a lucky dip?
