Christmas Fayre 2008

The Blanchelande Christmas Fayre is now firmly established in the School calendar and always attracts a big crowd.  Preparation for this fund raiser starts several weeks beforehand  with the collection of books, toys, bric-a-brac and all manner of goodies to tempt our Christmas shoppers.

All the girls get involved, with each house competing to raise the most money .This year St Bernadette claimed top spot.
