2019 JSS Fete - Saturday 24 August
Fete Update...
“Step Right Up”, planning for Jindalee State School’s ‘GreatestShow’ is well and truly underway.
Being part of our Fete Team is a fun and rewarding experience,plus, it’s a great way to hang out with some awesome people!The team for the Fete is made up of about 50 different roles - sothere is a job suited to almost anyone - if you have an interest/passion/skill or time to share, we can put it to good use. (Andif you think you could be help in another way, that is not listed,please email [email protected]). Ideas for new stalls arealso most welcome.
Fete Meetings
The first Fete meeting for 2019 will be an Info Night for newand potential Convenors/Co-ordinators. By the end of May, weneed to have our Convenor positions assigned, so that planningcan commence. Stalls that have not confirmed a Convenor bythis time will not run and may be sourced externally (which maynot be as financially viable as if it were run internally). If youare undecided about committing to help, come along to ourInfo Night to find out more, about what is involved. You will not
be pressured into signing your life away - we just give you aninsight as to what is required and what support will be available.
What: Fete Info NightWhen: 7pm Monday 27 MayWhere: Jindalee HotelWhy: To find out more about helping the 2019 JSS Fete
Fete Committee - positions still available:
Volunteer Co-ordinator
There are also a number of support roles available forCo-ordinators already assigned. This is a great way to help,without the pressure of being solely responsible for something.
Trash'n'Treasure Co-Convenors - The T’n’T convenors Jess &Fran have run this stall for many years, but 2019 will be theirlast one. They would like to offer the opportunity for anyoneconsidering this role for 2020, to work alongside them this year,to ‘learn the ropes’. Jess & Fran have the management of thisstall down to a fine art, so observing their prep this year, willallow the new convenors to ‘hit the ground running’ next year.
While we understand that committing this far out can bedifficult, please keep in mind that, depending on the stall, not alot of work is necessarily required until closer to the date - wejust need to get the game plan ready.
Calls for Donations
Trash’n’Treasure Stall - sponsored by Storage Choice SumnerPark
What: Anything that is in good, clean, resalable condition -clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, kitchen items, manchester andbric-a-brac. Books can be left here as well - until further notice.It would be very helpful if clothes of same size/gender could bebundled together.

At the last P&C meeting, it was agreed that the Uniform Shopwould no longer accept second hand uniforms for sale byconsignment, due to the cost (both time and money) associatedwith this process. We will however, welcome donations ofsecond hand uniforms and ensure, as with all of our stock, anyprofit that is made, is channelled back into the school throughvarious programs and projects.
If you are looking to sell your uniforms, we suggest utilisingthe Jindalee SS Parent page - as this is where most of thesetransactions already take place.
A full stock of winter fleece will be available Week 9. Most sizesof microfibre jacket are available now, as well as limited stockof sizes 6, 8, and 14 fleece jacket.
Please note: we have had to amend our opening hours inWeek 7. We will now open on Tue 12 March 8.30-9.30am(as normal) and Thu 14 March 2.30-3.30pm (instead of
Wednesday). We apologise for any inconvenience this maycause.

Our Snack Shack is very efficiently run by our long termConvenor - Katie. Katie has been feeding our JSS studentshealthy and nutritious meals for almost 6 years. While we thinkshe is an absolute champion for the amount of work she putsin, it would be great if we could get her some support with foodprep in the mornings. If you have one morning a month free(or more if you’re keen), to come in and assist her, it would begreatly appreciated. You will be shown exactly what to do andhow to do it - you can stay for an hour or two, or even just 30mins before your 9.30am appointment. Please download the‘Snack Shack Support Squad’ form and return it to Katie if youcan help.
