If you’re in the mood for a great family day out, head along to Maleny’s River School Spring Fair on Saturday 23 October.

There’ll be live local music, entertainment, stalls and activities from 10am to 3pm.

Year 6 students will help to run games on the oval for young and old; you can “dunk the teacher”; visit the face-painting tent; chill with books and colouring; or make your own jewellery, slime and more.

P&F President, Ross Doherty, says a team of dedicated helpers have organised an affordable day of amusement and connection. “We’ll have a range of delicious sentient foods available, amazing coffee and our year 4 and 5 students will be selling homemade lemonade,” said Ross.

The neohumanist River School opened in 1995 and currently nurtures 160 students between its Primary School and Early Childhood Centre.

Principal, Ann Donoghoe, is extremely passionate about the school’s whole-child education approach and looks forward to hosting a school tour at 11am.

“We honour each child as an individual and prioritise connecting with the inner self, as well as the mind and body, so our students can reach their highest potential on all levels,” Ann said.

“We’re excited to welcome our community to our school for Spring Fair and to provide experiences for all to enjoy.”

Parking is limited so hop on a looping shuttle bus at Maleny Showgrounds, Cooke Park or the Palm Street Depot stop, from 9.45am.
