3 y/o Kinder & Playgroup: Children’s Café
Parents from our playgroup and 3 y/o kinder class, Murrum, will be managing the Children’s Café.
This is a quiet space for young children and their parents to relax and enjoy our Kindergarten environment. It will operate from 11am to 3pm. Quiet activities and snacks (fruit platter) provided.

Children’s Activities are mostly in-front of the Children’s Tent behind the Class 7/8 & Craft buildings next to the labyrinth. The activities needing volunteers include: Wood-work/craft, Candle dipping, Sandpit treasure and Pirate treasure hunt. There is also Leather craft and Face painting (no volunteers needed).
Before the children arrive, they will need to buy a ticket at the information tent, which is also where they can Guess the Name of the Doll and Guess the number of crayons in the jar.
Instructions will be available before and on the day. Please come 5 minutes earlier for a handover.
Class 1: Children’s Tent
The Children’s Tent is located up behind the Class 7/8 building by the labyrinth. Each year we come together to build a magical collection of items for the Children’s Tent. These beautiful treasures are lovingly handmade by members of the school community craft group. One volunteer will be on the door and the other inside to help children choose 2 items each. One entry only per child.
The Children’s Tent will run from 10am-2pm, with pack up from 2-4pm. Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Class 2-6 Rosters
Class 2 Craft Stall
The craft stall is situated on the green near the information tent, selling beautiful handmade items and some crafting materials. Two volunteers are needed to serve customers. Written instructions will be sent via class carers and will also be available at the stall.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Class 3 & 4 Sausage Sizzle / BBQ
This is a very busy and fun stall. You will be located on the verandah behind admin overlooking the Green. You will be selling sausages, burgers and cold drinks. At the busiest time of the day, 2 people will be cooking, two will be serving and one will be taking money.
Sausages are served in bread with a compostable napkin/serviette, burgers are served on washable plates.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Class 5 & 6: Cake Stall
The cake stall is situated outside the primary faculty building beside the round lawn. Cakes are donated by all parents from across the school and dropped off at Primary Faculty in the morning. Three people are rostered on at one time – one to take money, one to serve and one to prepare cakes for serving and wash plates/containers for return.
Cakes are served on a washable plate or compostable serviette.
There will also be hot chai available for purchase.
The assistance of your class 6 child in your time slot is encouraged. At least 2 adults to be rostered on at all times.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Class 7-12 Rosters
Class 7: Wash Against Waste Station
We are making our Fair as sustainable as possible by minimising waste. The WAW station is located on the Admin building verandah closest to the Primary School, around past the BBQ and bathrooms.
All food stalls will have signage asking people to take used cups, crockery and cutlery to the wash up station and to scrape and rinse their plates. This is a fun and busy station around lunch time and requires volunteers to: wash with hot soapy water, keep washing water refreshed, return clean items to food and drinks vendors and sweep the grounds for discarded cups/plates now and then. We encourage you to bring your class 7 student along to help.
Class 8: Dahl and Rice Kitchen
Dahl and rice with accompaniments, will be served in washable bowls and thali plates from the kitchen behind the admin building, near the coffee van. Food will be prepared by coordinators and helpers on Fair set-up day, and volunteers will be needed on Fair day to take money, serve food and restock, clean as we go. You are encouraged to bring your Class 8 student along to help during your shift.
Instructions will be available before and on the day. Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Class 9 and Garden Group: Produce and Lemonade Stall
The produce stall will be located on the Green near the information tent. Two volunteers are needed to sell produce donated by the school community and to keep items looking neat and orderly, and to assist with selling home-made lemonade. We encourage you to bring your year 9 student to join your shift.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Class 10 Ice Cream Stall
The Ice Cream stall is situated behind admin on the class 8 verandah and will be run by Class 10 parents and students.
There will be pre-cut frozen banana and strawberry pieces to combine in the ice cream machines, then serve into waffle cones.
Each shift requires 4 people: one to take cash, two to make ice creams, and one to restock fruit and wipe down serving tables.
The assistance of your class 10 student in your time slot is encouraged, which would mean 2 adults and 2 students on the stall at all times.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for a handover.
Pack-up includes thoroughly washing out the ice cream machines to be stored for future use.
Class 11 & 12 Parking
The parking is being coordinated by Sonja Fischer in the school office. Parents of class 11 and 12 will be assisting with car parking. Your role will be to show people where to park in the designated parking areas. Please come to a person in a fluro vest 5 minutes early for a handover and to get your vest.
Class 11 & 12: Sumo suits
A fun activity with Sumo wrestling suits, will be located near the climbing wall down near the gym and will be available for students from class 6 upwards. Bookings can be made in pairs on the chalk board next to the rink. 1 volunteer will be needed to ensure suits are looked after, used fairly and stored properly for collection at the end of the day.
Parent Involvement
There are many areas of the school that thrive with extra input and help, and we are always grateful for volunteers.
The annual event in the school calendar that involves the whole school community is the Open Day and Fair, which takes place in November. It is supported by volunteer work from the parent body. The school communicates events via the weekly Newsletter and is grateful for the help and support of all parents able to help out in the lead up and on the day.
