St Teresa's School is readying for its annual Harvest Festival fund-raiser that aims to both reward and reap support from the community.
School office manager Leanne Flack said the festival is one of the school's major annual fund-raisers and will be held in the school grounds for three hours from 10am on March 22.
She said other fund-raiser events for the school include a sweet stall at the Cross Creek Railway Miniature Steam Train Festival today and a cabaret evening later in the year. Also on the drawing-board is a fashion parade fund-raiser.
"The Harvest Festival though is one of our major fund-raisers and to make it successful we would love everybody's help."
Attractions at the festival will include a St Teresa's Idol singing contest and a pie competition - fruit and pumpkin - vegetable creation competition, colouring contest, magic carpet rides, spin the wheel, lucky dip, mystery bottle, treasure hunt, mini golf, soft toy throw, and Indian henna designs.
Mrs Flack said the school was still collecting goods for stalls at the festival that include white elephant and bric-a-brac, clean clothing for babies, children's and adults' books and soft toys, produce, plants, veges and craft, cakes, muffins, scones and sweets. Other stalls will include a tea and coffee cafe also serving slices of competition pies, sausage sizzle, hamburgers, drinks, sherbet, spiders, fresh apples - pick your own or purchase a bag, and raffles, Mrs Flack said. "It's a great family day and we're hoping to attract people from the wider community as well."
Funds will go toward IT facilities at the school, Mrs Flack said.
