School Fair

For nearly 80 years, our annual Fair has been a proud Maungawhau School tradition It is a highlight of the local communities calendar, attracting thousands of attendees.

A fantastic day out for the whole family, the fair has something for every age and interest – from gourmet snacks to the classic sausage sizzle and hot chips, games and bouncy castles to entertain the kids, student performances and amazing bargains on quality second-hand clothing, books, homeware, toys and much more!

All proceeds from the Fair will go towards learning resources for Maungawhau School students.

Whilst one of the outcomes of the day is on fundraising for the school, we are also very focused on supporting the community and the environment. As such we do not discount any products during the day. Any unsold goods are donated to a variety of charities and schools at the conclusion of the fair. We also have one class (supported by their classroom teacher and parents) who take responsibility for rubbish & recycling on the day of the fair to ensure all compostable and recyclable waste is separated from landfill. This initiative introduced a few years ago has seen landfill waste reduced significantly.

We are grateful for the ongoing sponsorship provided by Barfoot & Thomspon Mt Eden.

There are various ways to support our school or sponsoring our School Fair. If you are interested in becoming a Fair sponsor please contact the Fair Committee.

Each year every classroom is allocated a stall for our School Fair. It is then run by 1-2 parents of that class as Stall Holders. Then each parent in that class supports them with preparation in the lead up as well as rostering on fair day. It is up to our parents to host the fair for our community.

The fair committee are currently working on allocating stalls for this years fair.
