Today’s Year 6 Fair (Friday, 6 November)  was a huge success with the boys at Lindfield raising just over $2000 (at this stage) for their ‘gift to the school’ which will go towards supporting literacy at our brother school in Tonga, Tupou College, who also celebrate their sesquicentenary next year. The Year 6 boys at Lindfield have supported this worthy cause over the last couple of years. This was a great effort for a truly worthwhile cause, the significance of which the boys appreciate and understand.

This year’s activities included: the Water Slide, Billy Carting, Year 6 Café, Crazy Hair, Bubble Wrap Wrestling, Haunted House and a variety of Sport Games, including our Cricket Batting.

The leadership and enthusiasm the boys demonstrated in preparing and delivering their stalls to the school community was impressive. There were many happy and excited faces around the school on Friday and ‘this is the best Fair ever’ was often heard across the grades. The Year 6 boys delivered beyond expectation, of which they can be very proud.

The boys in Year 6 would like to thank all the parents who helped in the lead up to the Fair, as there was a huge amount of behind the scenes support (designing stalls, shopping, sharing ideas, sourcing equipment, dropping off equipment, filling up water bombs, creating decorations, baking cupcakes etc), and on the day itself (helping with the BBQ and the many stalls). We’d also like to thank the school community for your generous donations and support of this event.

It is clear that the Fair would have not be possible without such support and encouragement, on so many levels.

Mr Pascal Czerwenka, Mr Jackson English and the Year 6 boys.
