It's been great to see so many new school families joining the P&C lately! Welcome to you all, I hope to see you at a meeting soon. Remember you can attend meetings either in person or via zoom.

I love being contacted about anything (and involved in everything!!), but please ensure that you contact the Country Fair directly with your offers on eglintoncountryfair@gmail.com also. Our Country Fair Committee look forward to hearing from you soon!

See you around the school soon

Over recent years the ECF Committee has really focused on not just raising money but creating a community event for all ages to enjoy. Part of that has seen wonderful local organisations such as Eglinton RFS, Denison Dog Training Club, Bathurst Soaring Club and Bathurst BMX Club, along with Blacksmith Demonstrations and Chainsaw Competitions join us for a day of interaction and demonstrations.

If you are part of a local club or organisation and are interested in showcasing what you do at the Eglinton Country Fair we’d love to hear from you. We provide a complimentary site for you to display and/or demonstrate – all we ask is that you engage with and inform our visitors to the Fair.
