Save the Date – Kingfisher Fair & Open Day!
In this re-imagined event, parents are no longer required to design, donate to and run a class stall, as the focus is now on friend-raising and community engagement over fundraising. But, perhaps you could:
- volunteer to bake sweet treats for the Tea House
- volunteer to organise the famous Pet Parade
- join a group of general volunteers to manage the fun activities we have planned
- oversee the carriage rides
- donate goods to the Market Stall
P&F Tea House
Call out for baked treats and volunteers. Do you have an events or Hospitality background? We are also on the look-out for someone who may like to coordinate the Tea House and oversee the setup and decorations etc. There are notes available from previous years so you wouldn't be starting from scratch.
- Sign up to provide specific baked goods, or loan equipment HERE
- Sign up to help out on the day, choose your time slot HERE
General Volunteers - can you help?
Volunteer opportunities for "Kingfisher Fair & Open Day Volunteers" are now open. All timeslots are for one hour only.
Volunteer opportunities include:
- Set up and pack down
- General volunteer (to help where needed)
- Wine Bar (RSA required)
- Supervising an inflatable. You will receive an induction and then your role will be to mark off the timeslot on children's wristbands and then time the session. Couldn't be easier!!

Market Stall
We will be holding a Market Stall. If you have items you would like to donate on the day (or a little earlier), please let julia.bairstow@gsg.wa.edu.au know. This could be pot plants, home-grown fruit and vegetables, firewood, homemade cards, books, games and toys in good condition, bags of manure, seedlings etc.
Pet Parade
Would your pet like to join in the fun of the Fair? If so, register them for the Pet Parade now for a $5.00 entry fee, which can be paid in advance (cash in an envelope to the main Reception, with your name) or on the day.
On the day, please make sure that your pet is on a leash when on school grounds.
The parade will be held at 1.15pm (meet at the flagpole at the quad) with categories for:
- Best Dressed Pet
- Owner/Pet Look-Alike
- Best Behaved Pet
- Star of the Show
If you have any queries, please email Community Engagement & Enrolments Manager, Mrs Julia Bairstow.

Book Week
The excitement is building as we count down to Book Week in Week Six! The theme this year is “Symphony of Stories!” To help bring our library foyer display to life, we are looking for donations of old musical instruments that can be used as part of our Book Week decorations.
If you have any unused instruments gathering dust at home, we would love to give them a temporary new purpose in our display. Whether it's a guitar, violin, trumpet, keyboard, recorder, or any other instrument, your contribution will help create an engaging and eye-catching celebration of books and reading.
Please deliver any instruments to the library before Week Six. All items will be carefully looked after and returned once Book Week celebrations have concluded.
Thank you for helping us make this year's Book Week display something truly special!
