Mini fete raises over $3000

Umina Public School's Year 6 Mini Fete held on Thursday, November 21, raised $3320.

"The effort and enthusiasm which all of our Year 6 students displayed in organising and running their stalls was brilliant to see," said principal Ms Lyn Davis.

"The look on the faces of our students as they got scared in the haunted house, danced in the disco, had crazy hair and nails painted and got to eat delicious cakes, biscuits and popcorn amongst many other activities was a delight to witness.

"The mini fete's success rests solely with the Year 6 students and their families who put in time and resources to make it a resounding success.

"The Year 6 Mini Fete is a fundraising event which Year 6 students put on each year to raise money to purchase the school a gift.

"This year our senior students embarked on a very ambitious plan of raising money to help pay for the refurbishment of part of our playground with synthetic grass and rubber matting in between the senior bubblers and library.

"This is a fundraising project that next year's Year 6 students will continue - to ensure we have a suitable and enjoyable area of our playground for future generations to enjoy.
