This year the fete will be held on Sunday 16th November, from 11am until 4pm. For those new to Holy Name, the school fete is held every two years. It is our major fundraising event with the money raised used by the school to help finance various resources that benefit our children. This year we will be assisting the school to buy much needed shaded seats for the outside play areas.
Parents’ help and support is a vital ingredient to the success of the fete, and your active involvement is requested again. We will require your help with the manning of stalls, cooking and selling food, setting up (on Saturday) and cleaning up (on Sunday) as well as a range of new and interesting little tasks! Stay tuned for further communication, as we get closer to the date.
One of the more successful stalls at our fetes is that run by the Parents and Friends Committee. This stall sells items such as groceries, toys and books. This year we are asking all families to have a look around their house and send in any unwanted books, toys or groceries that can be sold on fete day. Obviously only those items in good condition, or not out of date, can be sold so please, check before you donate. Items can be left at the front office where they will be collected by the P&F.
If you, or someone you know, own a local business, we are also asking for donations for our silent and live auctions. We will gratefully accept anything you are generous enough to offer, for example: gift vouchers, dinner or gym vouchers, hampers, beauty products, jewellery, tools, weekends away etc. Your donations will be publicly acknowledged and continually advertised in our fete newsletters. Please complete the slip below if you can help, and leave it in the fete box in the school office.
We will also be offering places to our school families to set up their own stalls, prior to offering places to outside stallholders. Please contact Diana Napolitano on 0412270515 before 12th June if you are interested.
With your continued support and enthusiasm, this year’s fete will be the best ever!
