We wish to express a massive THANK YOU to every one who helped our Home and School Committee with our biggest fundraiser of the year, catering the Ellesmere Lions Club Christmas Dinner on Saturday 25 November, 2023

The event was a huge success. We had a fantastic day, with loads of laughs, served a delicious meal, and managed to raised over $3,300.00 (profit) for Southbridge School!

THANK YOU to all the families of Southbridge School who donated either foodstuffs or financially towards our purchasing costs, this was a huge help.

To all our helpers on the day and leading up to the day, THANK YOU for your time and effort, we really appreciate your help. We could not have run such a successful event without you. Our team was, Tracey Chynoweth, Muffy Cornelius, Stephanie Quilter, Jessica Hooper, Nicole Thornton, Annie Reriti, Anna Cochrane, Amy Thurston, Larissa Sluys, Nigel Greenwood, Shalamar and Rob Wati, Karyn Quinn, Kelly Macaulay, Teneale Rankin-Haffner and Grannies Lyndal and Cherry. 

To our Year 6 helpers; Hazel Bundy, Knea Wati, Riley Tilson, Carissa Thurston, Harper Haffner, Alyssa Cornelius and Willow Sluys - you guys were superstars, THANK YOU so much for coming to help us. You did an amazing job and should be very proud of yourselves. 

A special additional mention of Muffy and Tracey - THANK YOU, for both the behind the scenes work, and being there all day. We appreciate you both. 

THANK YOU to the following local businesses who generously donated foodstuffs; without their support we would not make such a large profit. Oakley's Premium Fresh Vegetables, Bailey Farming, Southbridge Tasty Meats and Schmack Family Farm.  

And finally THANK YOU to all the members of the Ellesmere Lions Club - for once again giving us the opportunity to cater your Christmas event. See you in 2024! :)
