"We have noticed an improvement, with fewer absences, better concentration spans and happier children. That is why our fruit programme is so important to us."
The annual fair was the main fundraiser of the year, proceeds funding the fruit and soup programme. Last year's fair raised $7800, which also enabled the purchase of extra iPads and teaching resources, with some left over for the school science fair.
Sunday's fair includes a coconut shy, bouncy castles, hot rods, cream pies for the teacher, tug-o-war, hula hooping and many more activities for young and old. There will also be oyster- and spaghetti-eating competitions, a petting zoo, hangi and a marquee where over-60s will be welcome to a complimentary cup of tea and scone. It all kicks off at 10am.
