Joyful community spirit was on show once again as families came out in force to enjoy this year's fantastic Golden Grove Community Fete, proudly sponsored by LLL.
The Community Fete is a joint effort by Golden Grove Lutheran Primary School and Golden Grove Lutheran Church, and has become an institution in the local community in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs over the past seven years.
Proud Principal
"We absolutely love the way that the fete just opens our doors for our community to come in," Principal Will Wallace said.
"We've had more and more stallholders each year be able to sell their wares and be a part of our community, we've got so many rides and games, and food stalls; it really is a great family day for everyone to come along and enjoy.

"It really is very much a day where our community comes together and is a testament to the volunteer support from our church and school.
"It's a way that we can reach out as a church and school community to our wider local community to share the love of Jesus.
"To welcome the broader community into ours and share with them what we're all about."
The Community Fete regularly attracts over 3,000 attendees, with the campus shared by the school and the church transformed into a vibrant, colourful carnival.
Fantastic Foundation Centre
LLL Accountant Dorothy and Communications Officer Jason were pleased to attend this year's fete as part of a long-term missional partnership that enabled the school to open a transformative new building for Reception students in Term 3 2024.
"We're incredibly grateful for the support of LLL to partner with us to build and open our new Foundation Centre," Will said.
"We've seen enrolments increase significantly.
"A big part of that has been our new, architecturally designed learning space, which has been able to offer the absolute best in contemporary education and innovation for the students and their families.
"We appreciate the support of LLL, not just with our finance for the school and church, but also with their generous sponsorship, which we've been blessed to benefit from for a number of years now.
"Thank you."
