On Friday, October 25, Grenfell Public School’s biannual fete brought families, friends, and the community together for an afternoon of fun.
Held under the school’s COLA, the event incorporated many activities and stalls organised by the Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) and school staff.
The fete was packed with entertainment and excitement for all ages.
Families enjoyed a BBQ, the popular Stage 3 sponge throw and laminated family portraits that students had completed in their family groups at school. Kids had a blast with games like duck pick and hunted for treasures at the trash and treasure stall.
