Fete Co-ordinator
Some schools particularly smaller schools have a fete co-ordinator, often a teacher, who organises the event with other teachers and parents helping in the leadup and on the day.
Larger schools tend to have a fete committee that is usually made up of members of the P & C or P & F Committee with some additions if required.
The fete committee would then have a chairperson, secretary and treasurer along with other members who would normally be assigned tasks such as rides and amusements co-ordinator, entertainment, marketing, sponsorship and fundraising, food and stalls co-ordinators.
Each of these co-ordinators can then have assistants as required. As the old saying goes: many hands make light work.
If you don’t have a P & C, P & F or Fete Committee, well that’s not problem, we’re happy to help wherever we can or recommend an event planner who can assist as required.
