Term 3 has gone by so very quickly as we now look ahead to the break next week and spending time with our families and friends. Of course the highlight of the term has to be the Fete! What a fantastic turnout. The time and effort that goes into making the St. Clare’s Fete such an outstanding night cannot be applauded enough. We need our whole community to come together and commit their time and skills to make events such as these so spectacularly successful. But we particularly need to thank the Fete Committee (Jess Kachel, Tammy Clifford, Marie Vipiana, Tracy Dore, Kylie Morris, Katrina Barrett, Alicia Johnston &  Emily Probitts) for your organisation and coordination of this wonderful community event. I am sure you will all agree the beach theme was a great idea!

We also express huge thanks and gratitude to:

• Our P & F and Fete Committee for your support of our school and all the behind the scenes work that happens, not only for the Fete, but all year round.
• Our Cake Stall convenor, Maria, for continuing the tradition of our world class peach blossoms and other amazing treats.
• Our Cent Sale master, Marie, who managed to organise over a whopping 100 prizes and keep track of all the tickets and winners.
• All our parents that organise and run stalls
• Our longest serving P & F member, Nancy Marsilio, who sold so many extra raffle and cent sale tickets for us.
• Our staff for making sure the choreography and costumes made all the class dances first class.
• Our students (who are the real stars) as they presented and performed just like professionals.
• Our parents, grandparents and friends who volunteered their time to convene or assist on the stalls and events, helped to set up and pack up, made donations and sold raffle tickets.
• Our businesses, local and afar, who donated such generous prizes.
• Our local community who came along to support us on the night.

As usual the term has been jam packed, we have been involved in Rugby, Netball, Cricket, Science Day, Book Week, as well as all our usual learning!
