What an amazing fete day last Saturday! A huge thank you to the parents, staff, families and friends who helped make it such a successful day.  It takes a whole community to come together to make such a big event work. A special thank you to Sarah Tonna (mum of Alice in the Turtles) for taking on the massive role of fete co-ordinator again this year.
