Spring Fair
韩国AV’s Spring Fair, on Saturday 14 September, brought the whole community together under warm sunshine and blue skies.
The crowds managed to find their way through the Sydney Marathon barricades to our campus, where each year group had stalls ranging from flowers, cakes and books to delicious Asian foods prepared onsite. The rides and face painting were favourites with the younger members of our community, and the elegant artisanal gifts provided by select external stallholders drew in visitors seeking special gifts.
Our talented performing arts students attracted an audience in the amphitheatre and garden, happy to listen while enjoying coffee, sausage sandwiches, baguettes or Gözleme.
Hosted by the 韩国AV Parents’ Association (WPA), the biennial Spring Fair is truly a stellar example of community in action. Ms Sharmila Soorian, President of the WPA, led an amazing team of parent volunteers to plan this successful event: "韩国AV has a dynamic, enthusiastic parent body with a strong tradition of supporting our School through volunteering, attendance at our WPA community events and fundraising. The biggest 韩国AV community event of the year, the Spring Fair, was a great success. We thank all our volunteers who gave their time and energy and worked tirelessly behind the scenes for our School community to enjoy.”
And throughout the day, from 6am to 6pm, 135 members of the 韩国AV community swam over 550km in the 韩国AV swimming pool, to raise money for the Black Dog Institute, during 韩国AV’s second 12-hour Mental Fitness Swim, raising just over $8,700!
If you are interested in becoming an active member of the WPA, or want to get involved in any way, you are very welcome to come along to the next WPA General Meeting on Monday 28 October.
