IF YOU’RE in the mood for a great family day out, head along to Maleny’s River School Spring Fair on Saturday, October 15.
There’ll be live local music, entertainment, stalls and activities from 10am – 2pm.
Visit the face-painting tent, play with tye-dye and magic wands, cool off at the splash tower, nurture yourself in the wellness tent and more.
A $10 activity band will buy you a whole lot of fun. P&F president Ross Doherty said a team of dedicated helpers have organised an affordable day of amusement and connection for the community.
“We’ll have a range of delicious sentient foods available, plus amazing coffee and our Year 3 students will be selling their popular homemade lemonade,” Ross said. “We’ve been blown away by the generous support already flowing in, with many local businesses donating cash and prizes towards the event and our raffle.”
Funds raised from this year’s fair will help the school to install a solar system to reduce its carbon footprint.
The neohumanist River School opened in 1995 and currently nurtures 160 students between its Primary School and Early Childhood Centre.
Principal Ann Donoghoe exudes passion for the school’s whole-child education approach.
“We honour each child as an individual and prioritise connecting with the inner self, as well as the mind and body, so our students can reach their highest potential on all levels,” she explained.
“We’re excited to welcome everyone to our beautiful school for Spring Fair and to provide experiences for all to enjoy.”
A school tour will commence at 11:30am from the ticketing area. Parking is limited, so hop on a looping shuttle bus from 9:45am at Maleny Showgrounds, Cooke Park or the Palm Street Depot stop for a gold coin donation. EFTPOS facilities can be unreliable, so please bring cash.
