Can you believe the SJV Fete is only 9 days away! We’re very excited and can’t wait to see you all there. We’re ramping up to make the big day the best one yet with lots of fun in store. There’s a few things left to tick off on the list.

We’re also in need of the following items:

• Generators
• Small marquees

• Blenders
• Eskies

If you have any of these items, we'd greatly appreciate if if you could drop them off before the fete.

CAKES

Drop off for Cakes for the Cake Stall

Our Cake Stall is always very popular and we need your help to make it a great success. We would greatly appreciate your donation of any of the following: 

Cakes • Cupcakes • Biscuits • Muffins • Toffees • Slices • Savoury Items Lunchbox Snacks • Fudge • Jams • Chutneys • Preserves • Christmas • Allergy Friendly

Please ensure that items are nut-free and do not contain any fresh cream or custard as we are unable to provide refrigeration. 

To comply with food regulations and to protect those with food allergies, please ensure you provide a full list of ingredients on the label provided and stick on the outside of each/every item/package.

Please do not donate items that have been purchased from the bakery/supermarket.

If you are unable to assist, please return the packaging and we will reissue it to those families who would like to bake more. Additional packaging can also be collected from the Front Office. Please contact Bec Battaglini if you have any questions: becbat@iinet.net.au

All donations can be dropped to school on Friday 1 November or on Fete Day.

RIDE WRIST BANDS

Have you purchased your Ride Wrist Bands yet?

Remember 9 days to go before the fete, a reminder to put your order in via QKR for your families ride wrist bands to get the early bird price of ($25).

The ride wrist band gives your children unlimited access for the whole fete day to all rides.  The Wristbands will be sent home in school bags next week. 

You will still be able to purchase ride wrist bands on fete day, but the cost will be $30

MEGA CASH RAFFLE

This raffle is essential for our school's fundraising efforts, and every ticket sold truly makes a difference!  If you haven't received your raffle ticket book yet, please check your child's school bag from last term.  The more tickets we sell, the more funds we raise to benefit your children!

We also have tickets to sell at Coolo.  If you have some free time Saturday or Sundays and would like to help out, please let the Fete committee know.  Bring your kids along - they're the best salespeople!

The draw will be held Friday 29th November

We would love for each family to sell at least one book.  To ensure all sold tickets are entered into the weekly draw, please return both sold and unsold tickets along with your payment (Cash or QKR) to the Front Office.  Plus, remember that returning your ticket books each week gives your family a chance to win a Domino's Pizza voucher!

FLYERS

This week, your child will be bringing home some fete flyers for you to distribute in your local area while you're out for a walk.  This is a fantastic way to promote our SJV Fete, and we want to ensure as many people as possible are aware of it!!

Feel free to share the flyers with colleagues, friends and neighbours - there's something for everyone! If you need more flyers, you can pick them up from the Front Office or email Jet to request additional copies to be sent home with your child.  Thank you for your support.
