For the first time in two years, Spotswood Primary School will hold its much-loved School Twilight Fete on Friday 24 October.
Spotswood Primary’s last fete in 2023 raised more than $33,000 for the school, with the proceeds going towards the installation of a new playground.
Principal Jackie Green said money raised at the 2025 fete would also go toward upgrading the school grounds.
“All funds raised this year will go towards upgrading our school oval and sporting facilities, which will include new grass, an irrigation system, a long jump pit and a refurbished cricket pitch,” Ms Green said, adding that the fete was the school’s largest fundraising event and an important event for entire school community.
As well as urging parents and friends and members of the public to come along, Ms Green said donations were needed for the silent auction which will be held during the fete.
“Donations can be dropped off at our office, or we can arrange pick up from you,” she said, adding that vouchers could also be emailed to the school and that donors will be promoted through school newsletters, social media and at the fete itself.
“We will also continually encourage our school community to use your business and welcome other suggestions on how we can reciprocate your generosity,” Ms Green said to prospective donors.
The fete will be held at the school grounds on Melbourne Road, from 3.30-8.00pm.
