About
Our annual school fair is a much-anticipated event that brings together students, families, staff, and the wider community for a day of fun, connection, and celebration. Designed to strengthen school spirit and support key educational initiatives, the fair offers something for everyone, exciting rides, games, food trucks, live entertainment, raffles, and hands-on activities for all ages.
​
Proceeds from the fair directly benefit the school. Past sponsorships have helped us fund upgrades such as a new sound system, musical instruments, sports equipment and a new water bubbler. Â
