Cannonvale State School Fete Promising A Fun Family Day Out

There’s nothing like a fete for bringing the community together.

The Cannonvale State School Community Fete is happening on Sunday, July 31 from 10am to 2pm and will be a fantastic day out for the whole family.

Cannonvale State School P&C President Sabrina Mitchell and her team have worked tirelessly for months to deliver an action-packed day of entertainment.

“The fete has something for everyone,” said Sabrina.

The fete will feature a plant stall, a second-hand stall, a full day of entertainment, plenty of great food options, a mega raffle and, of course, the fete stalls, featuring everyone’s favourite: ‘Dunk a Teacher’.

“The fete’s not just for the kids; it’s for the whole community and everyone’s welcome,” said Sabrina.

There’ll also be 10 rides at the fete, including a rollercoaster, dodgem cars and a teacup ride.

Unlimited ride wristbands are available for $30 presale and $35 on the day.

All funds raised by the fete will go back into the school, with this year’s focus being new playgrounds.

“Our school has grown substantially over the last couple of years, so our playgrounds don’t cut the quantity of children,” said Sabrina.

“Every single cent raised at the fete or at any P&C event goes back directly to the children and is spent directly on the children.

“Anything that the P&C do for the school is pretty special and anything the community gives or donates towards any P&C event all goes back to the kids in one way or another.”

Sabrina says community involvement is the best part about organising a fete.

“The community really gets behind it,” she said.

“It’s not just the parents of Cannonvale State School, it’s all of the community.”
