Willmott Park Primary school celebrate 30 years

Willmott Park Primary School is set to come alive on Sunday 26 October as the school and wider Craigieburn community gather to celebrate its 30th birthday with a community fete.

The event will run between 12 and 5pm, with Willmott Park Primary School promising a fun-filled day for students, families, friends and neighbours.

The fete will feature rides, food stalls, live performances, market stalls, games, and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Entry is free, with tickets available for rides, food, and drinks and pre-sale tickets with bonus value available now, aiming to ensure families can make the most of their day.

School council president Brednan Wates said the fete was about more than just fundraising.

“This is a really special milestone for our school. For 30 years, Willmott Park Primary has been at the heart of Craigieburn, and the fete is our way of saying thank you to the families, friends, and neighbours who have supported us along the journey,” Mr Wates said.

“We’re inviting everyone to come along – whether you’re a current family, a past student, or a local neighbour, there will be something here for you. It’s going to be a day of fun, laughter, and community spirit.”

Local businesses have also been invited to support the fete by donating raffle prizes, contributing food for the barbecue, or sponsoring rides.

“The funds we raise will go straight back into supporting the school – upgrading facilities, investing in new programs, and enhancing resources for students,” Mr Wates explained.

“But more than that, the fete is about bringing people together and celebrating the community that makes Willmott Park such a special place.”
