Post-Fair Celebration Thank You event
It was wonderful to join together with stall coordinators and volunteers on the evening of Tuesday 2 May to celebrate the wonderful accomplishments of our amazing School community in delivering an outstanding Centenary Fair and Open Day last term.
The day of the Fair was enjoyed by all who attended and was a huge success, one that will be remembered for a long time. It was wonderful to see the School alive once again, with friends and families enjoying the vast array of stalls, activities and rides. It was also wonderful to see the smiles of joy on the children’s faces.
Thanks to the contributions of over 200 volunteers, and that of our sponsors and School community, we were able to raise in excess of $27,000 – a truly fantastic result that will allow the PFA to further support the School.
FUN CENTENARY FAIR AND OPEN DAY FACTS
- 22 stalls
- Seven rides and amusements
- Seven performances by Kilvington Bands and Ensembles
- Over 200 volunteers
- 600 guests on School Tours
- A fabulous fun community day
