Our long anticipated, first SummerFest, post
Covid was a huge success with Battle of the
Bands, Live Auction, Raffle, Tombola, Bar,
Cocktails, Ice-lollies, Burgers, Games & Bouncy
Castle. A huge effort by the team to decorate
and set up the stalls within a short window
resulted in a great party enjoyed by all.
**Jumble Sale**
Yet another fantastic Jumble Sale organised by
Mary Kavanagh – sincere thanks to Mary for
leading this again. We had more than 80
people volunteering, manning stalls, selling tea
and cake and providing security, and a large
number of people attending if the overall total
takings is anything to go by! We also had our
finance team on hand to collect money
throughout the day and count it upstairs.
**Christmas Trees**
Many families bought a Christmas tree through
school. Organised by Laurel Ives this provides a
good injection of funds. Thank you to Laurel!
**Table Top Sale**
Lucy Baron Thompson is the creative talent
behind this event. We have a number of stalls
each paying a fee for their stall and then taking
home what they make. The event felt busy and
there were lots of great things to buy. Sellers
seemed happy with the footfall too. There
were also some young children trying their
hand at selling which is great to see.
**Quiz Night & Auction**
We pushed the boat out this year with amazing
food organised by Sandra, a fantastic quiz
composed by Kathy Neal and presented by
Nick Grosso and a Silent and On-the-Night
Auction of incredibly lots hosted by Giles and
Esther Coren. Tickets sold out and we had 2
tables of sixth formers and a table of teachers,
who won….again! Thanks to Rosie Dickens for|
designing the auction website and to Tamera Peters and (Kathy’s husband, Jules) for assisting Nick on the night. We also had a lot of extra help preparing the food platters including students and Ms Camillo **Bars** We have lost count of the number of bars we have hosted this year! We have also hosted a bar for some alumni events at Miss Law’s request. They definitely provide a warm welcome at events and are a way of getting to know parents better and generate significant funds. **Thanks to those involved** As well as the event leads, we have had fantastic support from other parents and we are very grateful.
