A myriad of stalls and amusements including gourmet food, a silent auction, sumo suits and plaster paintings were just a few things part of the extravaganza.
School principal Tanya Whyte said the fete was about “providing an opportunity for the school community to come together”.
“It was a great for the kids to hang out and enjoy a game or jump on the jumping castle after a busy year of focusing on literacy, numeracy and sport,” she said.
“We had a lot of generous donations come in from our silent auction and the parents and community members who spent the last 12 months volunteering their time to make it all happen did an excellent job.
“The whole thing is around the students and watching the joy on their faces at an event like this. It’s a dying breed having a fete and it was good to see them value community spirit.”
