On the evening of Friday 14th, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School came alive with festive cheer as the community gathered for the annual Christmas Fair, the school’s major fundraiser for the year. The event attracted a large crowd, drawn by a fun-filled program and an exciting new feature, the 50/50 Raffle.
The raffle proved to be a standout attraction, with one fortunate winner taking home an impressive $17,265. The school retained the same amount, which will go directly toward enhancing facilities and improving learning opportunities for students.
The Christmas concert performed by Prep to Year 2 students was another highlight. Their joyful singing and festive routines captivated families and set a heartwarming tone for the night. Classes also created themed wares for the popular Christmas Markets, where families enjoyed browsing and purchasing handmade items.
There was no shortage of delicious food for the community to enjoy, with a fantastic selection of vendors serving up crowd favourites. The Ingham Lions Club hosted a traditional BBQ, while Woodfired Pizza, Cobby’s Kitchen, and Thai cuisine were on offer, along with Italian delights from Ingham’s newest food van, The Saucy Stallion. The school extends its thanks to these wonderful food vendors and to the community for their ongoing support.
The Cent Sale was another major drawcard, made possible by the generosity of local business houses and school families who donated a wide range of prizes. Thanks to this strong community support, the Cent Sale enjoyed tremendous success.
The Christmas Fair once again showcased the strength, spirit, and generosity of the Our Lady of Lourdes community, making it a memorable evening for all who attended.
