And that's a wrap!!!

We’re so proud to share these incredible highlights of our fete held on 29th October. The energy was electric and it was great to see the school filled to the brim with the happy, smiling faces of our community and beyond. Long live Bourkey’s Big Top, the Fete with a Porpoise!

And it certainly doesn’t stop there – there was an entire cast of parents (the backbone of the fete) who volunteered to put on stalls from selling books and handmade items to fairy floss, slushies and snow cones – even a wine wheel! We had sideshow alley games that were an absolute hit and let’s not forget the infamous haunted house, with the incredible short film that was filmed by parents at the school! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

Honourable mention to our dearest friends at Erko Berzerko, the fete-experts who generously loaned us equipment and infrastructure.

And a very special mention to Mikey Leung, school Dad and Co-creator at Digital Storytellers for shooting and putting this together amongst enjoying the day with his family.

Last but most certainly not least, our warmest thanks go to our community – thank you for your support! Until next time!
