The annual family fun day is back, writes Jenny Amadio.

The Holy Cross School Fete is fast approaching and our school is looking forward to welcoming our wonderful community for a day of fun on Saturday, 15th March from 10am until 2pm.

Your much-loved attractions will be there including Side Show Alley, Chocolate Toss, Face Painting and Rides. Try your luck on the Chocolate Wheel (generously stocked with prizes from business near and far), Putt for Dough, Candy Tree and our Major Raffle, with over $2000 worth of prizes up for grabs, including a Garmin Forerunner 55 watch, Bissell Spot Cleaner, Easter Show tickets and more.

Grab a bargain in the Secondhand Book, Puzzle and Games stall or buy new plants for your garden from the Plant stall. Those with a sweet tooth will love our famous Sweet Treats Stall and for the kids – gelato, snow cones and fairy floss galore!

Take a time-out and fill your tummies with yummy food down at the BBQ and chill-out to the DJs tunes while wandering the Market Stalls.

This day is a chance for our school and the wider community to celebrate the start of the school year. Funds raised go towards supporting students’ educational requirements, as well as continuing with our school’s sustainability upgrades.

We thank everyone who has helped, donated prizes or offered sponsorship – we wouldn’t be able to do it without you. Special mention to our major sponsors: Peabody, Symbio, Julie York (Raine & Horne Helensburgh) and Ron and Chris Kissell (Ray White Helensburgh).

Keep an eye out on our Facebook page (HCH Fete) for updates and make sure you save the date as we look forward to seeing you all there!
