The community fair at St Mary of the Cross Mackillop Catholic Parish Primary School is just weeks away, bringing together the school community for a day of celebration.
From 10am to 3pm, the day will be filled to the brim with entertainment, food, and thrilling carnival rides, offering something for everyone, while raising funds for improving projects at the school.
Live performances and entertainment will be a standout feature, with a variety of acts including local dancers, a martial arts demonstration, a Bollywood dance group and a DJ from one of the school families spinning the decks to keep the energy high all day.
St Mary of the Cross Mackillop Community and family engagement leader Kristie Hocking said community was the heart of everything at the school.
“Relationships are the heart of everything that we do here at the school. We can’t teach children, we can’t work with families if we don’t have relationships with them,” she said.
“When we put on events like this that allow people to come, with their families and friends, and extended families, [including] grandparents, it makes those connections when we go back into the classroom much easier.
“You’ve got something else to talk with about those children, and then with the families as well, and it’s great for the families to see the teachers in a more relaxed environment, out having fun, and the students love it as well.”
The event is on March 22, at 47 Farmhouse Boulevard, Epping.
There will be no ATM on-site, so be sure to bring cash and card for purchases.
