Food, activities, and plenty of community spirit will set the scene for the Wakefield School Twilight Gala on Saturday.
This year, the haunted house is back and joins other favourite activities such as the pony and motorbike rides, with the band Gentle Giant delivering the music. The silent auction is another favourite and, of course, the food, from hamburgers to spit roast. One of the organisers, Sonia Emmerson, says it is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the parent and teacher community (PTC) and the money will be put to good use.
“This year’s fundraising is for teacher aide time in 2025. It’s the thing the teachers tell us makes the biggest difference in the classroom.”
The gala kicks off at 3pm and she says it is one of the biggest events on the calendar for the community.
“It’s an opportunity for the community to get out and mix and mingle and pick up some bargains as well. We’re putting in our request for fine weather, but it will be going ahead rain or shine.”
