Day

Rosters
Every school family is
needed to do AT LEAST
one shift on a roster –
many hands make light
work!
Our fantastic stallholders
have been meeting
regularly, to discuss their
stalls, bounce ideas of each
other and to provide ideas
and feedback. It’s always a
productive, well-attended
meeting, and the time these
volunteers are giving to the
fete is amazing, and really
appreciated!
Feel free to contact a stall
holder directly if you’d like
to get involved. We will
need everyone’s help to
make this event a success,
and we look forward to
everyone’s participation on
what will be a great day for
APS.
We are delighted to let you know that the wristbands and tickets for the
fete are now on sale, via flexischools. It is cheaper to buy your
wristbands in advance, and this offer is also extended to all family and
friends of Auburn Primary School. The wristbands mean you can go on
all the rides all day, and the tickets can be used at every stall at the fete.
Every family will need to help in at least one roster time slot. These
rosters are online, so you can easily chose the stall and time you would
like to work on. We will also need people for gate security/information. If
you are interested in helping in a particular stall, please contact the
stallholder, or one of the fete coordinators. Now that the Schedule for the
day has been released, it’s easy to pick a time that suits your family!
Trash & Treasure, Second Hand Books…
There has been lots of interest in the ‘logistics’ for dropping off your trash
and treasure! We’re pleased to let you know the following details - Trash
and Treasure will be able to be dropped off at school from Friday
10th October (that’s the first Friday of Term 4), to Mrs Lane’s ‘old’
office in the Senior Building. So get sorting and decluttering, and hold
on to your T&T till then! (No electrical items or clothing please). We are
happy to accept and store books now – if you have any questions, or
th
would like to drop books off before the 10 October, please contact:
Caroline Hawker [email protected] or Rowena Syme

Can you fill a few Balloons for ‘Water Bomb a
Teacher’?
I am looking for numerous helpers to fill a tub of water bombs at home to
bring along in time for the infamous ‘Water Bomb a Teacher’ Stall at
2pm. I will provide water bombs and instructions. Even your children
could do this job for the School! Please email
me ([email protected]) if you can help or call me on 0419 556 436.

Working Bee!
Once again, a school working
bee is being held the Sunday
th
before the fete – October 12
9.30-12.30pm – so the school
is looking amazing for the big
day! If you are NOT a
stallholder, this could be a
way to contribute to the fete in
a really helpful way! Once
again, many hands make like
work – the kids have a great
time, and it’s a nice social way
to help out the school. Even if
you can only help for an hour,
it’d be appreciated!
Calling for all
marquees!
If anyone either owns or has
access to a marquee that
could be used on fete day,
please let one of the fete
coordinators know! J
Fishing Pond Game!!
The very popular fishing pond
game needs one of those blue
clam shell ponds to use on the
day – if anyone has one, could
they please contact Kirsten
Licheni [email protected]
Did you know…?
At the fete, children’s
haircuts will be available for
only $10, from the fabulous
Paula Gill! Get there early to
book your time!
Hot Chips
We need 2-3 x 20 litre gas bottles (filled) to run the fryers. Also, if anyone
has a small trailer (pref with a cage), to lend us to collect and return the
fryers from Richmond, please contact Fiona MacMillan or Tracy McCabe.

Jar Tombola (Lucky Jars)
We are looking for donations of any items suitable to group together into
jars!
• Any spare LEGO lying around
• Small toys, dice, counters from old games, magnets
• Hair ties, ribbons, beads, buttons, cotton, anything craft or sewing
• nuts & bolts, small tools, golf balls
Please contact Caroline Tinkler (0423 156 398) or Katrina Poolman (0409
029 422) if you can help.
BBQ
Our fabulous BBQ team is keen to source three marquees and two trestle
tables. This is one of our biggest stalls so if you are happy for them to
borrow these for the day, please contact Kate Dluzniak on
[email protected].
Spinning Wheel Donations
Having a manicure or pedicure? Getting your hair done? At the gym? In
your favourite local shop or restaurant? Why not ask for a gift voucher for
our school fete as a prize for the Spinning Wheel? Any gift certificates or
donations such as cookbooks, beauty products, homewares, sporting
goods, or anything you think would be a good prize for our spinning wheel,
please leave with Deb at the office, one of the Fete Coordinators, or in
one of the tubs in the 1/2 Building!
Basketball Shoot Out
Excitement is mounting for the Basketball Shoot out at the Fete! A
highlight of the day will be the 1pm Teacher's Basketball Game - so
students, ask your teacher if they're playing! To make the stall a success
I still require more bulk prizes such as drink bottles, bunting (flags), a
small marquee and a sturdy basketball ring/system on wheels that's
located within a short walk of the school. If you can help, please contact
Natalie Grummitt on 041 999 7311. Alternatively, jump on the google doc
roster and help on the day. I can guarantee it will be loads of fun!

Lucky Wine Stall
Thank you to all those who
kindly donated wine during
last weeks 'wine drive'.
Please keep the donations
coming! Bottles of $15+ can
be left at number 7 Condor
Street in the 'wine donations'
box placed at the rear of the
driveway. We are looking
forward to a well stocked stall!
Please label your generous
donations with approximate
cost ($15 or above) so we can
sort bottles accordingly.
Here's cheers
Bec Speed and Bec Metz
Plant Stall
We need your quirky pots and
containers (for example, fish
bowls, old teapots, large
plastic toys, large jars, planter
pots), as well as plants and
succulents.
Hessian (eg. from coffee bean
bags) is something we really
need - if anyone has any
connection to a cafe/roaster
that would be super.
Please contact Mariko

Auburn’s Famous Cake Stall!
Auburn is famous for our cake stall – and we have lots of loyal bakers that
we want to thank up front for your help with this stall on ongoing highlight.
Cake kits will be going home before the school holidays so that you can
plan your fabulous baking projects. We are looking forward to receiving all
of your wonderful items. If you can, we would love to see some of our
cakes from our cook book that will be delivered early in Term 4.
Here are a couple of reminders for the cake stall:
• Please use the cake kits provided
• You will be able to get more from the office if you need more
• If you cook and have no kits just send in containers and we
can repack as long as we have ingredient list, name and
date cooked
• You will be able to deliver Friday and Saturday
• Thanks to all those that have volunteered but we would love
to see more of you on the roster
• Please don’t freeze items as we are selling fresh and then
our buyers can freeze if they need too
• Please don’t send items with cream as we cannot refrigerate
so cannot sell – stall girls would be forced to eat any such
items!
• There will be a separate biscuit stall at the fete that involves
the years 5/6’s so please don’t send smartie biscuits, choc
chip or anzac’s as they will be sold through our biscuit stall.
• Additional copies of our cookbook BAKE will also be
available at the cake stall, biscuit stall and 125 celebration
area.
Thanks in advance for your help. We look forward to a great day!
