In only two weeks we have our Holy Trinity Fete!  Each week we will be sharing important fete updates with our school community.  

• We currently have a BBQ stall and a Greek food stall as our two major food stands.  If anyone would like to coordinate another food stall of a particular culture or knows of a business that may like to do this at our fete, please let us know via the fete gmail address.
• We are requesting  donations for the Chocolate Wheel.  Chocolate Wheel donations can include gift vouchers (suggested value of $100, however we would happily accept vouchers of other values that can be put in a hamper with other donated items), other items that would usually be given as a gift, or donations of products from businesses – these will be made into hampers.  Chocolate Wheel donations can be nominated using  the above gmail address, thank you.
•  We will have other stalls that we will be looking for donations for in the coming weeks, and that families can commence preparations for donations – details for when/how these can be donated will be included in future newsletters.
• Donations we will be seeking are:
  • Marquees (to be used on Fete day only and returned)
    Meat, bread, onions
    Plants – any variety      
    Tombola (jars with goodies such as treats, little toys, fidgets and other miniature stuff that kids generally like.
    Books
• Please note that you may start bringing in books to the front office, tombola stand jar and plants.  Plants can be stored in the Year 1 and Kinder courtyard near the shed outside the staffroom door, thank you. 

Raffle

A reminder to all families that the HT Raffle is live and tickets are available to purchase online.  There are fabulous prizes on offer and the funds will support the refurbishment and renovation of two play spaces used by the school and community. The class that sells the most tickets will win a special lunch treat! 

Indian Food Stall Help Wanted

We are looking to have an Indian food stall at the Fete and have a very kind volunteer to run it for us! We would love to have volunteers who can assist with this stall. Please send your interest to:

Stall Coordinators

The Fete Committee has assigned stalls to grades this year as follows:

ELC – BBQ

Kindergarten – Snow Cones and Fairy Floss Stall & Book Stall

Year 1 – Garden stall

Year 2 – Cake and Icecream

Year 3 – Tombola Stall

Year 4 – Showbags Stall

Year 5 – Mad Hair/Nails/Tattoo/Face Painting & Obstacle Course

Year 6 – Haunted House & Chocolate Wheel

We are asking for volunteers to coordinate each stall on behalf of the grade.We are needing stall coordinators for some of these, including the  BBQ stall and the Obstacle Course - people who wish to nominate can contact the Fete committee on holytrinityccfete@gmail.com

Given the short time we have before the fete, it would be really great if we could please have nominations for this quickly.  Parents can absolutely be a stall coordinator with another parent – it’s a great way to meet people in our school community and socialise.  Please send your nominations to:

holytrinityccfete@gmail.com

A reminder that we are having a FETE Stallholders meeting on Tuesday 11th March 6:30pm in the Library.  This is when stakeholder coordinators can discuss their needs for the fete and list all requirements.

Volunteers

We are also seeking volunteers to assist with the set up and pack down of the Fete.  The more volunteers we have for this – the easier it is on everyone.  This will include setting up of marquees, tables and chairs at different points around the school, and then the return of the same items to school hall.  Please  sign up here
