From Ms Gyton

Only 3 weeks to go until the fabulous P&F Festival on Forbes for 2026! Held once every two years, it is a true highlight on the SCEGGS calendar and a day of fun, connection and celebration, with a vast array of activities for the young and young-at-heart, delicious food stalls, exciting market stalls, a silent auction and so much more!

Our Class Parents and stall holders are already working hard, coordinating the arrangements for each of the stalls … but your contributions and support in the lead up to the day are vital too!

One way you can help now is by dropping off key items to our second Festival on Forbes drop-off tomorrow, from 7.30am.

Our volunteers would love to receive:

• Pre-loved clothes, accessories, sports equipment and books
• Prizes for the Chocolate Wheel and Coin Toss including new toys, pamper items and vouchers under $100
• Homemade seasoning blends, salad dressings, sauces, marinades, jams and other delicious treats for the Gourmet Pantry

Our friendly P&F volunteers will be in the Forbes Street car park to assist you unload your goodies.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support – we couldn’t do it without you!

Together, we will make the 2026 Festival on Forbes a wonderful celebration of our school community.

So I look forward to seeing you at the drop off tomorrow … and at the Festival on Forbes on 23 August too!

Head of School
