The Fair Committee has now started planning the Fair for Saturday 5 November 2022, but we still have space for anyone that would like to join the committee. If you’re interested in helping out in any way, please contact Natalie Mardell at fair@maungawhau.school.nz.

Please follow the link below to sign up to the Parent Volunteering Roster via our new booking system Trybooking.

We need parents/caregivers and/or grandparents to contribute at least 1-2 hours of their time to sort during the week and at least another hour and a half to either run, set up or pack down the stall on fair day.

The Fair cannot run without the help of all our Maungawhau families, so thank you in advance for your time.

How to sign up to the fair volunteer roster:

1. Click on the link to Trybooking. You will be taken to a Maungawhau School Fair event page.

2. Choose a date on the calendar:
– Secondhand Sorting – Monday 31 October to Friday 4 November.
– Stall set up and pack down, fair day stall sessions, and Muscle Team set up and pack down – Friday 4 November to Saturday 5 November (fair day)

3. Choose a session time.
– Secondhand Sorting – choose how many attendees and click next.
– Fair Day sessions – choose the stall you are volunteering on at the ‘sections’ page. All stalls or ‘sections’ identify their allocated classroom(s) numbers. (Rooms 6, 9 & 11 have two small stalls allocated, if you find one of these stalls are full check the other stall).

4. Enter your details – Name, mobile number and email.

5. Click ‘purchase’ – you will receive a confirmation email. (There will be no charge for this ‘purchase’).

6. Should you need to cancel a particular booking – use the link in the email.

We have now finalised stall allocations for 2022. Thank you to those that have already assigned themselves to a Stall – your enthusiasm and knowledge is most appreciated. We are still looking for Stall Holders, so if you are able to help please contact Natalie Mardell at fair@maungawhau.school.nz.

Leading a Fair Stall is a great chance to get to know your own classroom’s families and those in the wider School Community. The stallholder will be required to coordinate rosters and may have some additional tasks to undertake. All stalls come with comprehensive handover notes.
