Festival on Forbes

Let’s Hear it for our Parent Volunteers!

A massive thank you to our SCEGGS parent community for coming together so generously to volunteer their time, expertise and energy for the Festival on Forbes!

Held every two years, the Fair is run by our fabulous Festival on Forbes parent volunteer committee, with many parents across the K-12 community getting involved. From Class Parents co-ordinating Stalls, to volunteers on the ground at the Friday morning drop-offs, to those baking, pickling, sorting and preparing behind the scenes, we say a FABULOUS thank-you!

Here is a sneak-peek of some of the action:

“Thank you to our wonderful Year 7 volunteers who have been collecting, cleaning and organising pre-loved sporting equipment!” Kate Nixon, Year 7 Parent, Festival on Forbes Committee Member

 

“We know everyone has family, work, and other commitments, so we truly appreciate every minute you were able to give. Whether you stayed for the whole session or just dropped in to lend a hand for a little while, every bit of help makes a real difference each Friday”. Jennifer Zhu and Alix Cameron, Year 9 Parents, Book Stall Co-ordinators.

We are nearly there, but there is still more to do; check in with your Class Parents, sign-up to help on the day, or bake a cake – we simply can’t do it without you!

Thank you again for your generosity, teamwork, and willingness to pitch in -we can’t wait to enjoy the Fair with you on Sunday!
