A fete better than study at Melton South

School is winding down for the year, and Melton South Primary School pupils let loose at their annual school fete last week.

Pupils and their families raised more than $2000 for a new shade sail and a PA system for the school gym.

Year 6 technology teacher Donna Teven said the fete had been supported by the whole school community and helped encourage positive relationships between parents and staff.

“The fete was a great success,” she said. “The parents and carers of our students were welcomed, allowing them the opportunity to enjoy a fun day with their family.

“This is one of many school fetes we’ve had over the years and they are always so much fun – the kids love them.”

Ms Teven said pupils slurped down slushies, snacked on pancakes, ice-creams, fairy floss and popcorn, wound through an obstacle course, posed in a photo booth and decorated biscuits.
