Kilvington Fair and Open Day
On Saturday, 22 March, Kilvington came alive for the hugely successful 2025 Kilvington Fair and Open Day — a vibrant celebration filled with energy, laughter and, best of all, a wonderful sense of community spirit.
The School grounds were buzzing with activity as families enjoyed a fantastic selection of stalls, thrilling rides, and fun-filled activities — all expertly organised by our incredible Parents and Friends Association (PFA).
Our dedicated staff and enthusiastic students also led School Tours, proudly showcasing key areas of Kilvington, including Sport, Science, Food Technology, Community Services, Global Connections/Languages, Robotics and Digital Technologies, Performing Arts, and the innovative Year 9 Impact Program.
Guests were treated to beautiful performances from our talented student musicians and the Alumni Choir. They also had the chance to see staff bravely take their turn in the dunk tank — a definite crowd favourite!
A day like this doesn’t come together without the support, time and effort of so many people. We're truly grateful to have the support and involvement of so many fabulous volunteers.
In the lead-up to the Fair, we had parents crafting handmade goods and producing jams and relishes. Others were busy collecting books, puzzles and games, chocolate and wine, and coordinating the many moving parts behind the scenes.
On the day itself, over 200 amazing volunteers helped with setup, pack down and everything in between. The joy and connection across the School was incredible — with so many happy faces and new friendships formed.
A heartfelt thank you to Mr Francis McGinley and Ms Maddison Staude, our wonderful emcees for the event, for their warmth and enthusiasm and for keeping everyone informed throughout the day.
Also, a special shout-out to the PFA Executive and all our stall coordinators for their outstanding leadership and commitment in creating such welcoming spaces at each stall. Your efforts made a huge difference in the success of the day.
What a fabulous day it was — thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable occasion!
