Dear Parents and Caregivers,

What a fantastic day it was last Sunday! Congratulations to everyone on making this year’s Fete such an outstanding success.

A Fete is a huge undertaking for a school community to take on. It requires an enormous amount of commitment, creativity, time, patience, organisation and a lot of hard work from many, many people to bring it together as well as our school did last Sunday. (A list of Fete thank you’s is included elsewhere in the newsletter)

Everyone who is connected with Dunsborough Primary in any way should feel very proud of what was achieved. And I’m not necessarily talking about how much money was raised (although that was a fitting result for all the effort that was put in) but rather it was the opportunity for our whole school community to come together, have a great day with

their children and publicly demonstrate an outstanding level of positive school/community spirit.

Although it was a huge effort by a large number of people I would like to especially acknowledge the efforts of Yvonne Winchcombe and Helena Nicholson, and publicly thank and congratulate them on the unbelievably good job they did organising and coordinating this event.

A special thank you also needs to go to the staff of Dunsborough Primary, who once again showed their dedication and commitment to this school and the children they teach by supporting the organisation for their class’s stall and in some cases devoting the whole day on Sunday setting up, working on and even packing up their stall.

And lastly thank you to all the children, parents and others who spent their money at our Fete. As a result of your great support the P&C have raised in excess of $25000 for our school!!
