American Tea 2023

American Tea 2023

Save the Date: Friday 8 September

The American Tea is Shore’s annual Spring Fair and fundraiser. It is back for its 85th year on Friday 8 September 2023! This event involves the whole school community, including the boys, family and friends and will be held during the school day on campus. 

The first American Tea was held in 1936 to raise money for the war effort. It became an annual event, and after 1945 the focus of the fundraising effort moved to provide facilities for the school. It became a tradition at the American Tea to bring a gift or a plate and then buy one, and this tradition continues to this day.  

This is a great opportunity to get involved with Shore’s School Community and a must for your diary.  

Here’s what you can do right now:  

  • Join the American Tea planning team. 
  • Donate silent auction items. 
  • Manage a stall. We still need replacement stallholders for a few more stalls and welcome ideas for new stalls in 2023. 
  • Become an External Vendor. If you have or are connected to a small business and would like to have an External Vendor Stall on the day, please get in touch by 15 May. 

Closer to the event, you can: 

  • Volunteer at a stall during the day. Sign-up will come out at the start of Term 3. 
  • Donate items we will be seeking for various stalls.

To volunteer or sign up for any of the above, please email us or use the following link to register.
