Surfside Primary School’s wildly popular Fresh Food Fair again promises delicious food, fantastic entertainment and community spirit.
Coinciding the Melbourne Cup weekend, the Fresh Food Fair is on Friday November 1 from 3.15pm to 7.30pm at the primary school.
Organiser Stacey O’Keefe said the event promises an unforgettable time and features a delightful afternoon tea featuring the traditional cake stall, the whimsical Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and a variety of sweet treats including fruit ice cream, popcorn, chocolates, and lollies.
“For dinner, our talented grades 3 to 6 students, alongside dedicated volunteers, will serve up a delicious menu that includes sausage rolls, soup, potato and kale pastries, curries, pancakes, and barbecue options,” she said.
“Be entertained by the incredible sounds of the Surfside Primary School band, along with performances from two contemporary rock bands from St Ignatius College, hosting two former Surfside students, and our exciting Surfside’s Got Talent Show, as well as Ange Rogers, The Foundation Fab Four, and Mr Morzinek and friends on the basketball courts.”
Stacey said the Surfside Primary School Fresh Food Fair is more than just a fundraiser.
“It’s the biggest event on our school calendar,” she said.
“This annual celebration brings together our school and local community to showcase our students, our school, and the importance of our environment. It’s an evening filled with food, music, games, market stalls and much more.”
Funds raised will support the school’s award-winning Kitchen and Garden program, which offers our students unique hands-on experiences in cooking and gardening, setting our school apart in the region.
Every class at Surfside runs its own market stall, offering everything from homemade curries and pastries, cakes, potted plants to exciting side show games, lucky dips, face painting, the dunk bucket challenge and gift stalls. On the oval, families can enjoy carnival rides, a petting zoo, and soccer games, making it a fun-filled evening for all ages.
