American Tea – Thank You

Thank You from the 2023 American Tea Team!

If a picture is truly worth a thousand words – this one sums up perfectly our unwavering Shore
community spirit and the completely amazing day we had at the 85th Shore Parent’s Association American Tea.

Stallholders, staff, parents, grandparents and students alike may have had the adverse weather dampening their clothes, but not their enjoyment of all the day had to offer.

Across both campuses in Northbridge and North Sydney, we all soldiered onwards into the rain and muck to enjoy the rides, games, yummy treats and shopping that our volunteers had worked so hard to prepare for the day.

A huge thank you goes out to all of our hardworking volunteer stallholders who put together the event stalls on the day and all the various School staff who worked so tirelessly to support them throughout the event. A special mention needs to go out to Rachel Fennessy and Sandie Hogarth-Scott, who are finally hanging up their oven mitts after over a decade of organising the much loved cake stall and to Hazel Martin, David Cambridge and Kristy Borgonah for running yet another successful Silent Auction campaign.

Thank you to all members of the Shore community who participated in this year’s American Tea Silent Auction. The Auction was a great success with almost $37,000 raised! We are so thankful to everyone who generously took part, and a huge congratulations to the prize winners.

Lastly, the American Tea team wishes to thank the entire community for your ongoing support of providing the various donations needed to run the event and coming out to volunteer in the lead-up to the event, and on the day. Whether you were cooking, selling, manning rides in the rain or tirelessly counting with the Treasury team – every contribution is greatly and equally appreciated.

Thanks for coming out to support us in 2023, and Katie looks forward to seeing you all again next year!
