A Community of Hope

 

Mark your calendars for our annual fair day on Sunday, March 30, midday to 3pm, as we bring together our school families and the wider community for an important celebration of culture, connection, and reimagining.

This powerful event is more than just a gathering - it's a long lunch experience showcasing the strength in our differences, the beauty of diverse cultural traditions and the meaning of hope. Through the universal languages of food, storytelling, and art, we invite you to join us in coming together as one.

At our school, we are committed to providing a bright and inspired start for all our students, and this fair embodies that promise by fostering an environment of inclusivity and cultural appreciation.

Be Part of the Celebration!

We invite you to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy with your family and friends. A bar will be available on-site offering both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Umbrella-shaded picnic tables will be provided, but we encourage you to bring fold-out chairs and picnic rugs to make your experience even more comfortable. While not mandatory, bringing food to share with others would be wonderful and add to the community spirit.

This is your chance to connect with others, celebrate cultural pride, and foster understanding across our community. By participating in this event, you are not only embracing diversity but also supporting our school’s commitment to ensuring a bright and inspired start for all.

Whether you’re sharing your own traditions or discovering new ones, this fair promises to be a heartwarming journey into the many ways cultures bring us together to find hope and renewal.
