A message from the Spring Fair and Open Day Committee -

With the enthusiasm, and contributions from all of us, we will truly create a vibrant and colourful Spring Fair! 

There are a number of different ways in which students, parents and families can get on board.  It would be amazing if each family could embrace 1-2 ways where they can help to make this day abundant in liveliness and fun.

1.  Get involved in your class activity.  Dive in, inspire and have fun!  Be in touch with your class carer for directions.

2. Donate some goodies for our cake and bake stall.  Here is a general guideline that can be followed...

Kindy/C1 & C2- muffins and cakes 

C3 & 4 - biscuits and slices 

C5 & 6 - savoury 

(If you have children in more than one class, please don’t feel overwhelmed- one baked donation is perfect ?) 

3. Treasure jars - These are somewhat like a lucky dip - only more colourful and fun!  They are easy to whip up and are a great way to spread excitement.  Simply take a clean clear jar and fill with all kinds of bits and bobs - you may have a nature or beach theme with shells, sand, seed pods etc, or pop in some crafty things like beads, buttons and string, or find little forgotten treasures from around your home to fill the jar.  These can be collected in a box located in each class. 

4.  We are looking for donations of potted plants, seedlings, seeds and produce - We have many green thumbs and merry gardeners within our school, so let’s showcase that!  There will be envelopes located in the office that can be used for seed labelling.  Please let your class carer know if you’d like to contribute in this way or get in touch with Kate on 0401 025 882.

5.  We hope to have a bread stall!  If you make your own homemade sourdough bread, why not double the recipe and donate a few loaves!  We’ll also have some rye starter available and a print out on how to make your own sourdough bread (Goodies farm and Mt barker Flour will have a stall on the day, so these will highlight each other beautifully).

6.  We will have a stage offering live music throughout the day.  Each class will offer some music on the day, but if your child (or you!) would like to sing a little ditty or play a tune, please come forth!  All those interested can contact Laura at lauramargaret.egan@gmail.com or on 0419 957 991.

7.  We are looking for stall holders!  If you are a student, parent or grandparent of the school and have something to offer that keeps within the school's ethos, we’d love to have you along!  Please contact Kate on 0401 025 882.

8.  We are also registered with the Garage Sale Trail and have a few spots allocated for car boot sales.  (Previously we had thought to collect some good quality donations for a simple stall, but we soon realised we don’t have the capacity for this!).  If there are any families interested in having their own car boot sale in our car park, they can register their interest at the school office. 

9.  And finally, we are looking for eager arms to help us set up for the big day!  All those interested can contact Marieke on 0431 347 245.

As I mentioned before, if families just chose a couple of ways in which they can contribute, the tasks will be carried by all of us.

Thank you so much for all your help! 

It’s going to be such a fabulous day!! ??‍♀️???

With warmth, 

The Spring Fair Committee
