Whopping Great Fete Update
What’s on at this year’s
Whopping Great Fete? Beautiful goods are being crafted, jams are cooking, plants
potted, silent auction prizes hunted and the carnival rides are booked!
You can check out all the details at https://westgarthfete.com and
follow the action on Facebook and Instagram @WGFete.
Volunteering on fete day More than 30 parents have responsibility for a stall or activity, and it's time to begin to drum up other
parents and carers as volunteers to help out with stalls, logistics and the pack down at the end of the
day.
You can now register using the School Interviews system (the same one used to schedule
parent - teacher interviews). https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au and use the code zw8gc
Please consider if you could spend an hour or two or more helping out on fete day. Also please feel
free to rock up on the Saturday setup, to help sort books, clothes, toys and more.
It's all super friendly and mostly fun.
Sponsorship The school has allocated a slightly bigger budget for rides this year
(7 in all). We are offering parents and businesses the opportunity to
sponsor a ride or stall. This is a great opportunity to make a personal or
business contribution to the school. Contact Susan Price at the school
on [email protected]. Please note donations can be made through Westgarth Primary School’s Tax Deductible Building Fund.
Chocolate Donations for the Choc Toss
Make sure the kids drop in their chocolate donations (bars, blocks, bags, we’ll take it all) for the Choc
Toss table at fete. Choc toss, is super popular and entertaining to watch for anyone hanging around.
4 WEEKS
TO GO!
Silent Auction Our Silent Auction team have been out and about in our community requesting donations
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP
Are you able to provide an item for our Auction? Do you know anyone you can convince to donate to
our cause? Vouchers, experiences or even a bottle of wine would all be greatly received.
Are you a builder, architect, designer or gardener who could offer a service? We’re sure this would be
very popular with all the renovators in the area!
If you know someone who can help or can provide an item or voucher, please drop it off at the office
at the beginning of term 4.
If so, please contact Jo Wallis on [email protected] or 0407 056 047.
Wristband orders Order forms for Fete wristbands will be sent home early in the first week of term 4. Pricing will be in
line with last year, including early bird discounts.

With the countdown to the Fete underway, it's time to let the
nagging begin! Next time you're at the shops please pick up a case

runs entirely on donated stock, so please think of us and pop
something into your trolley and then drop it into the office. Easy as!
Books, games & DVD’s
NOW! Drop off to the gym corridor at Clarke St
Yes the doors have opened for book donations. Please ensure they
are in good condition packed neatly in boxes or bags – no tears or

We love the great variety of books we get and good quality
children’s books are very popular.

It’s time to start handing over the fruits of your labour. If you have
anything ready to donate to the Craft Stall, please get in touch so

and is eagerly awaiting the fruits of your wardrobe clear outs, so get
clearing - you know you want to! And make space for your fab new
purchases on fete day.
What do we want?
Donations don’t have be ‘vintage’ – but they do have to be good
quality, and in excellent pre-loved condition. No tracky dacks,
grubby old t-shirts or undies - please be discerning! We want your
quality clothes, shoes, jewellery, belts, scarves, hats, accessories of
all kinds for women and men.
If you think someone would buy it, we want it!

SATURDAY ONLY! Before Fete Day from 8am (Year 3 Portables)
The Terrific Trash and Treasure needs your unwanted treasure! Do
your spring cleaning now and bring your unwanted plates, glasses,
pots, vases, pet items, teapots, candle holders, wall hangings, small
furniture, lampshades (but not the bases), fondue sets, musical
instruments, etc. Tell your friends and neighbours to drop off their
unwanted stuff as well.
NO ELECTRICAL ITEMS! And nothing that an op-shop would not
sell please (don't want broken trash just the treasures!)
Toys
FRIDAY AFTERSCHOOL & SATURDAY! Before Fete Day from
8am (Year 3 Portables)
A favourite stall for the kids and parents to find a bargain amongst
the pre-loved toys. The kids can find a special keepsake from the
