Kingfisher Fair fun awaits!
All the fun of our Kingfisher Fair & Open Day awaits on Sunday 13 September, commencing at 11.00am! A long-standing tradition at GSG, this event gives us a chance to come together as a community with activities and events for all ages. This year will include music performances, Laserscape, carriage rides, a Tea House, Pet Parade, giant inflatables, market stall and much more. We are excited to display a showcase of teaching and learning which includes our Technologies Showcase and we will launch our ever popular Whole School Arts Exhibition. I have had many members of the Albany community already talk to me about coming along to enjoy the fun. Please see below (and on the Kingfisher Fair page in this newsletter) for more information about what is on and how you can join in.
Our students have been working hard to show off their learning in Primary and Secondary School displays, which will be available for viewing throughout the day and I am confident your children will be proud to show you their work.
Come along to connect with other families and enjoy a fun day out with your children and the Albany community.
From the P&F
Can you help?
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 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 time slots 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!!
