Dads and Kids Camp - 24 March 2017
Each year the P&C runs the Dads and Kids Camp. This is great opportunity for Dads or father figures to connect with their kids and with other Dads. It is run on the school oval over one night. Dads have to set up their tents with their kids, cook dinner together, participate in fun after dark activities and get them in to bed at a reasonable hour! The next morning the Dads are treated to a cooked breakfast by the P&C, followed by a talk about the all important role of fathering. (while the P&C takes care of the kids!!)
This event is supported by the school chaplaincy program, YouthCARE and The Fathering Project.

The 2016 Quiz Night raises $24,000!
You won’t see any of the East Fremantle Primary School parents or teachers at the annual quiz night. You will however, see all manner of animal, vegetable and mineral walking through the door to bend their minds with the quiz, drop cash on the auctions and dance like 90’s throwbacks to The Dad’s Band! And so we found ourselves back there again on Friday night… Quiz Night 2016 was particularly well supported by our celebrity friends. Donald and Ivana put their differences aside and rekindled the romance as they entered the venue 5 times. A particularly passionate Ivana put on a spectacular display to take out the Lip Sync competition, leaving the Mayor of Fremantle, among others, reeling in her blaze of glory. P.S. we can officially confirm Donald definitely wears a toupee! Nick Carraway and The Great Gatsby team made a pretty picture at table 21, but the whisky was flowing a little too freely at the Gatsby party and the beautiful people got a little off track. They didn’t care a bit because as always Gatsby hosted the rich and fashionable and we all know they don’t give a damn about silly questions. ET phoned earth then popped by for a visit, arriving in style he was cycled in by his BFF Elliot and assisted to his second place in the Quiz by his sidekicks… We’re hoping he brings more of his highly evolved outer-space mates next time. There were lumps and bumps in all the wrong places on the Active-wear table. Some of the ladies had forgotten their waxing routines and hair sprouted from all manner of inappropriate places. When they lifted their arms during a vigorous Jazzersize routine on the dancefloor it drew gasps of shock from the audience. Apparently the active wear totally put the 80’s Bogans off their tinnies and chicken parmies, and we know how hard that is to do! Luckily for the fundraising efforts it turns out the Bogan were cashed up and spent much of their time at the silent auction table out-bidding each other on covetable items like fire pits, 4wd rescue kits and a Natio gift pack. Good on youse…
Most of us were slightly confused by the table completely decked out in white. Too old to be virgins, too young to be God, what was going on there? Eventually it was revealed they were Dinner en Blanc. How posh. Not so posh when you go home with stains all over your white pants suit after a messy night at the quiz. He he he. They did manage to leave with two of the major prizes. The Vitamix was taken home by Leith Groves. She still doesn’t know what it does!.... left with $500 cold hard cash donated by Digby Robinson (Trump) on behalf of his law firm Williams and Hughes. The scent of incense and camel wafted through the room from the Arabian Night’s table. Smokey eyes, sensuality and mystery exuded from the female contingent while the men rocked some queen size sheets and tea towels with rope. With two of their team-mates pretty much missing in action the Arabs struggled to answer most of the questions. We think it was a cultural thing? More celebrities graced the event in the form of our ABC Kids TV favourites. Mr Squiggle won best dressed but as the night wore on he poked his nose in some very inappropriate places! 50 years of ABC Kids TV, you’d think they would have learnt how to behave at a party by now. They’re almost as bad as the Home and Away cast. Boaty McBoatface – Please explain. OK so you guys are smart, placing third on the quiz ladder and you managed to get the Mayor of Fremantle to join your table, but what’s with the name? We got the boat part but we’re still wondering what the McBoatface meant. Too much of the green stuff when these guys were workshopping their team theme we think. Don’t tell the papers or the Mayor might end up on page three explaining himself. Most of us thought, if it was launched, their boat had next to zero chance of surviving its maiden voyage. Even if it had floated, Boaty McBoatface was under constant threat of attack by the Pirates of the Caribbean who sailed the Black Pearl into the room and made their presence felt on the quiz ladder, in the Lip Sync comp and on the dancefloor. Though they posed a constant threat they failed to take out any quiz night treasure. I wonder if the Roe 8 crew made the most of having our local pollie at the next table. They weren’t a pretty bunch but they are well supported around these parts. There was a rumour circulating that eventually the bar staff just had to say NO to Roe 8. Even protestors need a night off every now and then. The Vikings did very little raiding and pillaging, preferring to stay at their table looking sexy and knawing on big bones. We think they might have sailed to Bali recently and got a group special on plaited hair. Too cool for school, they unsurprisingly finished low on the quiz ladder but managed to nab a top spot in the theme category. Must have been sweaty in all that pleather people! Anonymous were way too clever for their own good and for the whole event they remained…as such. A reminder to everyone that you can just be too damn switched on to international affairs for your own good. Dumb yourselves down next year and come back obvious for rest of us ignoramuses. Thank god for the more obvious themes such as Our Big Fat Freo Wedding. They were in Freo, they were wearing wedding dresses and yes their butts did look a little on the large side. It was all romance and excitement at their table. We hope that all the beautiful brides and grooms went home and celebrated their nuptials in the traditional manner after the big event.
