I would like to thank those parents who helped on the stalls, the students for coming along and especially the fair committee who have donated time and effort over the year, but were also here for long hours on Saturday. A special thank you to Shelley and her crew who worked tirelessly over the last few weeks manufacturing over 3000 dumplings for the fair. The dumplings were a big hit with the community and I believe Shelley has been asked to run a Master Class on dumpling making in the future.

KPS FAIR 9th November 2019
Kerrimuir Primary School is committed to Child Safety and the inclusion of all the children
KPS Fun Fair — Thank you! Thank you to everyone in our school community who braved the wintery
weather and came out to support our fair last Saturday. Special thanks to
all the parents involved in preparing over 3,000 dumplings…
from the comments we received on the day there is no doubt that dumpling
stall was the stand out hit of this year’s fair!
We know you are all dying to know how much we raised. We are still tallying up the final
figures, and waiting on some final payments for silent auction items, but at this point we
can tell you that between direct profit from the fair and the generous support of our
sponsor, North Blackburn Shopping Centre, it looks like we will surpass
our fundraising goal and have more than enough profit from the fair to
build our new bike shed! Check out next week’s newsletter when we
expect to announce a final figure!
Did you take any photos on the day?
Our fair committee were so busy keeping everything running on the day that we
neglected to get out cameras! If you have some nice photos of the fair that you would be
happy to share, please email them to Katherine Harding, at [email protected].
Kerrimuir HAS Got Talent!
And the winner is…. We held the grand final of KGT at the school fair on
Saturday. All the acts were great but the act that came first
overall was Alysha Clegg who sang the song
“Speechless”. Our guest host Melinda Gregory also got
to choose a winner, and the Mel’s Choice award went to
Lucy Southgate who did a tap dance.
Congratulations to all the competitors and thank you to
everyone who was involved in our first ever KGT,
especially Mrs Kenny who helped me to organise it!

Get Connected!
I hope you all enjoyed the Fair last Saturday and purchased some pre-loved
books for your family to enjoy.
Borrowing for the year will finish next Friday (22nd Nov.) and all books will
need to be returned by Friday 29th November at the latest. This will enable a
Stocktake and reorganisation of the Library to take place, in readiness for the
2020 school year. Overdue notices should make their way home this week and
please assist us by chasing up any outstanding book returns.
This week in the Library, it was great to see so many students borrowing books
from the Remembrance Day display. It is encouraging that so many children
are interested and in turn learn more about our history.
Parents, even though formal borrowing will soon be finished for the year, a visit
to the local Library will ensure your children continue to enjoy selecting their
own books for reading at home. Exchanging books with friends, is also a good
way of sharing books, that otherwise might sit on the bookshelf at home
gathering dust!
Happy reading!
