The school has organised a family friendly, alcohol-free event at the Wolumla recreation ground from 5-8pm which includes a fireworks display, music by the Figmentz, SALT and White Noise, food and most importantly for the students - stalls selling some of the items they have made.

"We have loads of market stalls and lots of delicious food organised. Our senior students have been working hard to design some great stalls also," Kellie said.
"There are lots of new people in the community we haven't met and this is a chance for everyone to come together after a tumultuous couple of years," she said.
"The idea is the community comes together, eats, enjoys a stroll around the market and watches the awesome entertainment. We will finish with an amazing firework display."

Back in the classroom students have been busy learning about business costs as they prepare a variety of craft items for sale.
Wolumla PS principal Peter Claxton said it should be a wonderful school event and lots of fun.
"There are solid educational outcomes too. It gives kids the opportunity to develop communication skills and look at profit and loss," he said.

Students have made napkin holders, phone holders, bird feeders, beeswax wraps, soap and candles which they will be selling at several stalls on the night.
The event will be a fundraiser for the school with entry at $5 a person and $15 for a family.
Kellie said that with a new playground they wanted to raise money for a covered area.
"It's about boosting resources for the school but also about getting people together," Kellie said.
