Dear parents

Thank you for coming together once again, in such a wonderful way, to celebrate the School Fete 2019.

Thank you to every one of our generous donors and sponsors who donated to the Raffle or Auction.

Thank you to our superb 5 Star rated Kitchen Staff who once again so willingly agreed to cook our food for the event.

Thank you to the parents who volunteered to man a stall alongside the staff.

Thank you to the wonderful group of dads who stayed behind to tidy the school ensuring that we were able to open the school in such a good condition on Thursday morning!

We are simply thrilled to be able to announce that the grand total raised thus far is:
