Hundreds flock to fete

More than 500 people walked through the gates of St Joseph’s Primary School for the biennial fete in Kununurra last Saturday.

Fairy floss, cuddly farm animals, high jumping and hard-hitting tae kwon do displays and jumbo hamburgers were all part of the mix for the event which helped raise more than $6000 for the school’s Parents and Friends Committee.

The committee is hoping to raise $25,000 to enable each class at the school to have an interactive white board.

Parents and Friends Committee treasurer Mandy Dahms said fete organisers were happy with the turn-out and the money raised provided a significant boost to the school’s fundraising efforts.
