Grade 5 & 6 Market Day

Market Day is fast approaching and the Grade 5 & 6s are super excited to share their stalls with the school. We would like to invite all staff and learners to support our young entrepreneurs for a super fun and exciting Market Day on Friday 18th August.

The market will run in the stadium from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm.

All grades, with the support of our staff, will have an opportunity to visit the stalls that Grades 5 & 6 students have created, in order to purchase hand-crafted goodies or participate in some carnival games for prizes.

Students are able to bring a maximum of $15 each (small change where possible please) to spend during their allocated shopping time. There is no obligation to purchase.

We ask that students bring their money in a clearly named snap-lock bag or purse.

The students are so exited, and we are so proud of their efforts, please pop in for a look!
