No fireworks at Pretty Beach

Pretty Beach Public School will not be holding its annual Pretty Beach Fireworks this year.

The schools newsletter stated that, due to work going on in the school and reduced playground space, the fireworks would not go ahead.

It stated: "The good news is the first of the new buildings has arrived.

"As we can all see, it will change the school dramatically for the better.

"The bad news is that with the work going on in the school and the reduced playground space, it is not possible to hold the annual Pretty Beach Fireworks this year.

"The annual fireworks are not only much anticipated by the children and parents of our school but the broader community as well.

"Most importantly, it is our key fundraising event.

"While cancelling the fireworks is regrettable, our school fundraising guru Peta Randall has a number of alternative fundraising activities planned."
