The first meeting of the Winter Fair committee will be on Monday November 5th at 2:15pm at Juliet’s cafe, opposite the school.
If you would like to help plan this parents-run event please come and join us. We will need parent volunteers for a variety of roles prior to the Fair such as designing and making carnival style games, making posters and signage and organizing decorations. In addition you could be involved with planning the raffle, cake-walk and kids-only market. Many hands make light work and it’s fun to be a part of this magnificent annual event.
