Celebrate Mooroolbark Festival

On Saturday, March 19, several of our Bimbadeen families spent a sunny morning in Mooroolbark, participating in the Celebrate Mooroolbark Festival. 

Once again, there was no official parade, however, for the second year in a row, we were fortunate enough to be able to take our school dragon puppet out for a walk through the centre of Moorolbark, from the Mooroolbark Community Centre to Hookey Park, where the festival market was taking place. 

While we were lucky to escape a rain shower last year, this year we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful sunny day for our dragon parade.

Congratulations and many thanks to those Bimbadeen families who represented our school on the day. 

Our talented students did a fantastic job of carrying the dragon puppet. 

The colourful fans and costumes created a real vibrancy and splash of colour in the centre of Mooroolbark, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. 

A big thank you to the Celebrate Mooroolbark Festival organisers, who helped to arrange our participation in the festival. 

Also, many thanks to Mr. Laws who lent a hand on the day. 

What a wonderful opportunity this was to celebrate being a part of the amazing community of Mooroolbark.
