A reminder that there is a keen focus on waste minimisation at the fair. You can help by bringing your own keep cups for drinks or using and returning the re-usable cups that will be available at the coffee, lemonade and snow cone stands. There will also be a number of waste streams available. Please take note of bin labels to ensure correct use of the different waste streams.

We look forward to seeing everyone there on Saturday!

APS Fair Dollars are back! $10 Cash = 10 APS Fair Dollars

Why not also pre-purchase APS Fair Dollars to give your kids their own spending money?

APS Dollar cards - 10 x $1 tokens that can be used as a currency during the fair and redeemable at most stalls for food, soft drink and goods. Perfect for kids if you don’t have cash handy!

APS Fair Dollars are non-refundable and must be spent on the day.

Due to Department of Education policies, APS Fair Dollars are NOT redeemable at the bar or stalls not run by the APS Community Engagement & Fundraising Committee.

General Ticketing Info

We have also increased the amount of EFTPOS machines on the stalls so you don’t need to worry about carrying large amounts of cash, and we are still taking cash at stalls as usual.

More APS Fair Dollars are available to purchase on the day from the Information Stand.

All money raised will be reinvested in our school, allowing us to provide upgrades to our beautiful grounds.

The Volunteers Sign-up is also now available, grab your preferred option here:
