2023 SJV Fete  - Best Day Ever!

We are 10 DAYS away from this year’s Fete, being held on Saturday 4th November, 10am-2pm. Make sure you tell your family, friends and neighbours to come along and enjoy a great day.

QKR Pre-Fete Sales - Ride Wristbands and Portraits

You only have SIX DAYS to pre-purchase a ride wristband  - get in quick, last orders are next Wednesday 1st November to get the discounted rate of $25.  After that there’ll only be sales on fete day at the full price of $30. 

You can pre-purchase for your friends/cousins/nieces/nephews/neighbours so don't forget to add them to your order.

The ride wristband gives unlimited turns on the rock climbing wall, giant slide, TWO jumping castles and lasertag - more fun than you can poke a stick at!

Don't forget to pre-purchase your child’s portrait which will be available for sale at the school fete. Pre-pay on QKR for $4 and take home on fete day. 

If you are having trouble accessing QKR on your phone you can log into your account via their website: https://qkr-store.qkrschool.com/store/#/home 

Flyers

Some fete flyers will be coming home with your child this week for you to please put in letterboxes in your local area when you go for a walk. This is a great way to advertise our fete in the local area - we want as many people as possible to know about the Best Day Ever at the SJV Fete!

You could also pass on to work colleagues, friends, neighbours. If you need more please grab some from the front office or email Jet to ask for more to be sent home with your child. 

Football Australia Clinics

For all the football (soccer) mad kids out there, we will have two Football Australia coaches running football skills clinics at the fete from 11am-12:30pm.

Volunteers

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to help this year. We will be sending out an info email next week to keep an eye out for that. If you’re unsure of your volunteer timeslot send us an email and we’ll let you know.

If you've not put your hand up, there is still time to volunteer! Email sjvfete@gmail.com to let us know that you can help out.

White Elephant, Toys, Books

You can still drop off items for the Toys, Books and White Elephant stalls between 8:30am-3:30pm on school days, please leave your items outside the rooms for our volunteers to sort.

Mega Cash Raffle

We’ve already had 41 books returned for our Mega cash raffle! That is such an awesome effort with still 5 weeks until the draw date. 

Know someone with a birthday coming up? With first prize of $1000 and second prize $500 a few raffle tickets would make a great gift! 

Congratulations to the Bourke family who won the first week’s canteen prize draw. 

FAMILY INCENTIVES

• The family who returns the most sold tickets will receive a $50 My Sweet Lady gift voucher (one of the amazing parents at our school, Ash, makes seriously delicious cakes and has donated this prize)  My Sweet Lady
• Weekly draw to win 1 x canteen voucher for fully sold books returned in that week (from weeks 1-7 in Term 4)
• The family who sells each winning ticket will receive a $50.00 cash prize.
• Each book sold will go into a draw to win 2 tickets to see The Cat in the Hat at the Canberra Theatre next year. 
  

So, sell as many tickets as possible to increase your chance of winning these awesome prizes..

We are still looking for someone to coordinate selling tickets outside Cooleman Court, as well as people to assist in selling raffle tickets on the weekends (assistants can help one weekend or several).

Coordinating involves collecting raffle tickets, Ipad and square reader from the Front Office, determining days and times for the selling of raffle tickets, informing the Fete Committee of intended selling days/times to allow for communication to the school community who can volunteer to assist with selling raffle tickets at Cooleman Court.

If you think this sounds like something you could do and would like to volunteer to coordinate the selling of tickets outside Cooleman Court please email sjvfete@gmail.com.
