The forecast is for a sunny spring day on Sunday 12 November for the always fabulous SJC SPRING FAIR.
In an exciting new development, Year 11 have organised a Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course on College A, B and C for students aged over 11 years of age. Replacing the Fashion Parade, participants will face challenges such as obstacles, high leaps, steep climbs, slides, balancing on wipe-out balls and a final plunge onto a stunt bag. Also testing the boys’ skills is the Great Basketball Shoot Out, down at the outdoor courts. Players must register before the Fair by contacting michmcd@tpg.com.au. Let’s not forget the carnival rides either – all your tickets can be pre-purchased from the Joeys Online Shop.
Kindifarm and the Happy Days Café at Kids Corner, featuring Elsa the Fairy, will enchant the little ones.
The popular Chocolate Wheel, organized by Year 10, has some amazing prizes: iPad Pro, iPhone 7, the yet-to-be released Xbox, signed 2017 Wallabies jersey, Bose headphones, a Dubbo zoo weekend, a Paddock to Plate package and lots, lots more. The Country Stall has wonderful produce from our rural and regional families across NSW, but would love more. There are jars in SJC Development Office if you would like to try some pickling!
Everything is set for a wonderful day – your Christmas shopping is taken care of with 53 stalls, your family can eat their way around the world at the food stalls and relax over High Tea. Battle of the Bands will entertain you – we just need more volunteers to put their hand up to help man a stall. Please get involved and meet your fellow parents, with whom you are sharing your Joeys journey.
