The school’s P&C say, ‘From circus magic to musical mayhem, petting zoos to zany clowns, this is not just an event – it’s a full-blown family experience’.

‘That’s why this local community school, volunteer-driven family event has steadily become such a favourite on the family hit list over the past few years with over 1,500 attendees at last year’s event.
