2019 JuneFest
JuneFest – Saturday June 1st, 2019
What is JuneFest?
On Saturday, June 1st from 11am-3pm, we transform the school’s backyard into a GIANT fun fair with bouncy castles for all ages, carnival games with prizes, face and nail painting, tattoo station, BBQ, class art auction, silent auction + more. It’s our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year and should not be missed. This is a community event and not just for Willy families so invite your friends too!
Wristbands
Access to the event is by wristband only which are $20 per student and $10 for preschoolers. Food is not included with your wristband but everything else is! Wristbands (and food tickets) will go on sale via cashless schools soon. Wristbands and food tickets will also be available for purchase on June 1st (but note, wristbands will increase $25/student).
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
This event goes nowhere without a huge amount of community support (well over 100+ volunteers needed), so please consider lending a hand whenever possible. There are lots of ways to go about this, so please consider signing up for one or more areas of need. More information can be found by following each sign-up links below. There are lots of ways in which your teen can help (and earn volunteer hours) – grandparents too! We very much need help with our silent auction component ASAP – this does NOT involve asking people for pure donations and is quite straightforward but needs to get underway sooner than later.

The much anticipated Lip Sync Show will be running again this year and is for all ages.The performers pick their favourite song, hit the stage and wow the audience with their dance moves and lip syncing skills. It’s always a crowd favourite amongst the kids – no prior experience required. Space is limited so don’t delay in signing up your performer. The link for the sign up is available below.

IMPORTANT NOTE – DUE TO THE POPULARITY OF THIS EVENT, STUDENTS ARE PERMITTED TO BE IN 1 PERFORMANCE ONLY
Silent Auction
Since we started doing the silent auction 2 years ago as part of Junefest, this has proven to be very successful in raising funds for our school. We cannot do it without a village of people! Firstly, we need donations. Classrooms will have an opportunity to make donations via school cash online. Also, any donations from your place of work, or to promote your own business, are much appreciated!
Secondly, we need a classroom parent volunteer to represent every room. This person will be responsible for buying an item (or voucher) on behalf of their class, using the donations collected through school cash online. This will take place the week before Junefest. It is a fun and easy task! If you have any questions please email janet.theunissen@gmail.com
