Reminder: Fete raffle tickets 

Each family should have received at least one booklet of raffle tickets to sell to help raise funds as part of our fete event.

If you are using the Qkr! App for your payments, you will be asked to include the ticket number/s for individuals or book number/s for purchase of a book. 

There are also prizes for the families who sell the most tickets:
