Oktoberfest Gingerbread Hearts

Our annual Oktoberfest celebration will be held on Thursday, 27th October.

Students are invited to come dressed in either the Bavarian costumes (Dirndlkleid & Lederhosen) or the German flag colours (black, red and gold/yellow).

As part of the festivities, students are invited to order a special gingerbread heart to be distributed on Oktoberfest day.

Each decorated gingerbread heart comes with the school logo and Oktoberfest 2022 written on it, as well as with beautiful hand piped icing. The gingerbread hearts come in a random selection of bright colours and are threaded with ribbon to be worn at chest height like a necklace. They are also heat sealed and have a 3-month expiry date.

The gingerbread hearts come in small, medium and large.
