Week 4 – 10 November – 12.00-1.30pm.
Fair Day is an annual event held in Term 4 each year by SRC. This fair is organised by the students, for the students, and is very child-centred. The event raises a significant amount of funds but its aim is to develop in the children a number of real life skills.
Each class decides on a stall that they would like to run. Once the stall has been decided upon and approved, then the class, led by the delegates, organise everything for that stall i.e. advertising, prizes, rosters, materials, pricing, clean up etc. The teacher merely communicates with parents and facilitates on a needs basis.
Our class has decided to run a drink stall and a basketball shooting competition. An allocation of requirements will be sent home in the days to come.
It has been agreed that students are only allowed to bring $5 in coins on the day to limit the amount of sweets bought. Students are encouraged to keep the prices low to ensure that purchases are achievable. All items and prizes are donated and there is no reimbursement for purchased goods.
This is a wonderful occasion for all involved and we look forward to enjoying the Fair Day experience with your child.
