Sponsorship Opportunities
The Marymount Spring Fete has become a fun, exciting and eagerly anticipated biannual event on the local community calendar.
The Fete attracts a number of stalls and various attractions from the Gold Coast and surrounding areas, and provides entertainment and rides for all age groups. The Fete also encourages the students of both Marymount College and Marymount Primary School to participate and showcase their musical and dance talents through stage performances throughout the day.
The P & F Associations of Marymount College and Marymount Primary are working together to raise much needed funds for both schools. The schools have a combined student population of around 2200 and are supported by a large parent body and community members of the Burleigh Heads Parish.
Given this,the 2019 Marymount Spring Fete will provide an excellent marketing opportunity for businesses seeking to promote their goods and/or services.
Whether you'd like to be a major sponsor, or simply donate a prize, equipment or entertainment to support our Fete fundraising, we are grateful for your assistance and always acknowledge the efforts of those that support us. Please visit our Sponsorship page for further details.
Get Involved
The Marymount Spring Fete is organised and run by the P and F Committee - a group of parents, friends and family of Marymount students. While there is a great team of people in the Fete Committee who are already dedicated to organising this fantastic day, they could use your help - more hands make lighter work!
Convenors wanted! We are seeking Parents and Friends who are willing to convene a stall at our fete. Alternatively, you may have a new idea; something that you love doing and can share your skills with the community. If you are interested, please contact the Fete Coordinator to discuss what is involved. To apply for a convenors position, please complete and return the Convenors Registration Form.
Volunteers Wanted! Parents and Friends who are unable to commit to convening a stall but would still like to assist on the day are needed. A range of activities include (but are not limited to): assistance with set up, pull down, selling Art Union Tickets, First Aid Officers, assisting at stalls.
Please contact us if you can be of assistance and help in any way.
