2026 Summer Fair Update

Posted on 27th April 2026

Updated: 6 July

The fair will take place on the 11th of July from 1:30 – 5:00pm.

It is becoming another exciting Summer Fair. We have 70 parents and staff helping out. A huge thank you to everyone!

There is still plenty to be done before the event. We will be doing some set up on Thursday and Friday evening, as well as starting around 10:00am setting up the actual stalls. Reach out to your class rep if you can give a hand.

Marina or I will continue to reach out to many of you, as we progress with the planning.

Like last year, additional gazebos will be helpful.

Please don’t forget to bring you water bottle.

Areas where we need help:

  • Raffle sales team — selling tickets at drop-off and pick-up before the fair. Helping here makes a huge difference in the amount of funds we raise from the raffle.
  • The mobile bar needs volunteers
  • Printing and hanging posters
  • Printing and cutting tokens
  • We will need volunteers Thursday and Friday evening and Saturday morning to help set up.
  • Resource room — there is a lot of behind the scenes work needed here, requiring multiple days and a few volunteers
  • Clean-up after the fairs is a significant effort. We need a team to commit to staying after and making sure that the school will be in shape to have class on Monday.
