SPRING FAIR – SUNDAY 12 NOVEMBER 2017 – 11am to 4pm
8 WEEKS TO GO!
Are you ready to “Rock into Spring” and celebrate at our legendary community spring fair? The countdown is on to our Spring Fair in November on Sunday 12th.
For the information of all new parents it’s the day we come together as a whole school to host a fair with lots of food, fun and activities. There is a real sense of achievement when we come together and produce such a wonderful event.
The fair begins at 11am after the family mass. As you wonder from the hall grab yourself a pick me up coffee or cool drink at the Bike’n’Blend. Wander across to the Chocolate Wheel and try your luck or meander through the retailers on the lawn. What a wonderful opportunity to stock up on Xmas gifts!
If you’re feeling peckish there is a wide selection of food available – the Rowers BBQ, Asian, Italian, Lebanese or our famous cake stall. Or perhaps you’d like to relax in at the High Tea in the Farrell Auditorium.
For the boys we have a special range of rides available this year as well as our basketball competition on the back courts.
For the little ones, they will not be disappointed with our Kids Corner and our ever popular Kindifarm returns with all the baby animals.
As the day progresses and you need to rest your feet, head on over to the Old Boys Bar for a refreshment!
There is much more for you to look at – dance, woodturning and auto demonstrations.
And last but not least the infamous Battle of the Bands near the Year 10 dormitories. Come see the rising talent that Sydney has to offer!
So as you can see lots to do and see. We hope to see you there!!
PS – don’t forget to make your mark – there are many opportunities to help out on a stall either before or on the day. Your year reps would have informed you of your stall but you can also choose to help out on another.
The Spring Fair Committee is seeking your support through donations of both goods and your time. Please see below the volunteer requirements. Please read on to see where you can help/donate. We once again thank you all for your enormous support.
