OISPA Holiday Basket Raffle 2025

The holiday season is here, and so is one of our favourite community traditions. The annual OISPA Holiday Basket Raffle!
Each year group helps us create beautiful, themed holiday baskets by donating new items, and the results are always festive, fun, and wonderfully creative.

Your participation (whether through item donations or by contributing via Vipps) helps make this event truly special.

Update:

Thank you so much for all your generous donations. We are now wrapping up the contributed items to prepare the baskets!

Ticket Sales:

Raffle tickets will be sold after school from 2–11 December, with additional ticket-sale sessions planned during school hours on selected days. You can find the ticket booth just outside the OISPA kitchen near Reception.

The raffle draw for the lucky winners will take place on Friday, 12 December.

Come by, get your tickets, and good luck!
