It began with a spark - a single flash of sequins, a solitary trail of fire weaving through the air - and grew into something magnificent - the Moonlight Family Carnival.

The clear spring afternoon began with a mask parade by the colourful and creative Grade 1 to 3's. The various stalls run by the Grade 7 to 9's were an immediate success and learners lined up for face painting, fishing competitions, soccer kicking and many more.

Hungry tummies were soon satisfied by the excellent fare from the tuck shop and coffee shop. Families settled down to enjoy a meal and spend time together. The excitement built as two professional fire eaters took to the stage. It was a spectacular mixture of beauty and power against the twinkling fairy lights and dark skies.

What is a carnival without dancing though? A talented dance group led learners, teachers and parents in line dancing on the basketball court. The lively, fun-filled atmosphere reflected the spirit of the day, and even more so of our school!

Well done to all the stall makers and thank you to everyone who made this day truly unforgettable.
