Student Fete

Tomorrow is our Student Fete to celebrate the centenary of Wattle Grove Primary! The students in Room 12 have been working hard in their respective committees to ensure that we make the largest profit possible, selling our Scrumptious Slushies!

The "Ideas Team" wrote a letter to Ms Roberts requesting a loan of $50 , which the "Budgeting Team" had calculated would cover the cost of setting up our stall, meticulously designed and thought out by the "Decorating Team." The "Marketing Team" designed a number of posters that are around the school promoting our stall. The "Profit Team" have brainstormed what resources we might be able to purchase with the money we've earnt...after we've paid off our debt of course!

Special mention to Francis, whose catchy jingle, to the tune of "Jingle Bells," won the class competition. An ensemble of students will be performing this at a school assembly this afternoon to entice prospective customers.

This fits into the area of Enterprise, however as you can see this project really integrates all Learning Area and has been most engaging and beneficial for the students as they enter the "real" world of business. I am sure the skills they have learnt will assist them in the future.

Reminders:

• Students are encouraged to come dressed as a student from 100 years ago.
• Students are to bring no more than $7 to spend at the various stalls. This should be in a named snap lock bag that will be withheld by the class teacher until the fete commences.
• This event is for students only. There will be another community fete, to be held in November.
