Dear all, After months of hard work and preparation the 2009 Country Fair is almost upon us. This Saturday’s big event is sure to be a great success due WEEK 3 to the efforts of so many wonderful people. TERM 4 Not only is our Fair a chance to raise funds, it’s also a terrific opportunity to celebrate and show off our wonderful school. Every visitor will leave with an opinion of Terara school and each parent, student and staff Monday 2nd member will be representing our school. I have no doubt that our visitors October, 2009. will leave thinking how lucky we all are to be a part of something so special. Monday Like family, I’m sure everyone will pitch in and help make this fair a truly Country Fair Meeting memorable occasion. If you haven't already done so, please return the Rod at principal helper’s slip so we can ensure everyone gets a chance to leave our stalls to conference see the great things happening around the fair.
