Moss Vale Public School Country Fair 2024
Dear Southern Highlands families,
The time has come when we start to plan our biggest and best fundraiser of our school year. This year our Country Fair is set to be bigger and better than ever before with Rides, Activities and Stalls for ALL ages. Save the date for Friday the 1st of November!
Our Country Fair is organised and run by a dedicated group of volunteers with greatly valued support from our local Southern Highlands’ Community.
Each year, we aim to build on the year before. Over our past two fairs, we have successfully raised enough funds for a sensory space in our main play area & a kitchen garden complete with wheelchair access for our students to learn to prepare and cook items they grow in the garden they maintain.
This year, we are aiming to continue building on our vision. We are hoping to raise enough funds to provide an all-accessible outdoor sheltered reading space for our students to enjoy throughout their school day, allowing them to get lost in the world of their story.
Stay updated here for all things Country Fair 2024!
