Volunteers

Once again a reminder about signing up on our volunteer register. We need 300 volunteers for the fete day to run and all it takes is 2 hours of your family time. The school has 260 families and with majority of stall coordinators spending their entire day on their stall it is really important that you do sign up at least one family member and preferable both. At the moment only 47% of spots are filled. We still need 122 slots filled.

Wristband and Ticketing Information

Online pre purchase wristbands close this coming Wednesday 2nd March and purchasing at the office closes tomorrow 26th February. These dates cannot be extended as bands need to be ordered. You will still be able to purchase wristbands on Fete day at an additional $5 per wristband. So get in early and save yourself some money.

Orders for prepaid wristbands should be made via the TryBooking website http://www.trybooking.com/KJTY

Or you can collect a paper form from the office and complete the order form that way.

Kids Stage – Still has vacancy

NPS's got Talent - The X Factor - What is it and do YOU have "IT"

The kids stage is looking for parents and students who would like to showcase their talent on stage.

It can be card tricks, magic tricks, hula hooping, fire twirling, juggling or even some cool skateboard tricks.

Nestled amongst the side show alley activities, you will never be bored. Whether you chose to watch our talented performers, jump up and sing a karaoke song yourself or just take in the action it’s really up to you.

If you are interested in performing please contact Miryana via the Fete email address or sign your name up via our online volunteer register

After tasting our yummy lunch specials, visiting our stalls and rides it is now time to sit back and relax.

Grab yourself a drink from the bar that will be serving, Beer, Wine, Champagne and Cider.

Then it’s time to soak up the atmosphere while taking in the music and conversing with your friends.
