Sun shines on bumper Belmont Primary School fair

Crowds flocked to the Belmont Primary School fair last Saturday, enjoying a wide range of attractions in perfect early autumn weather.

Activities included a farm experience, jousting with inflatables and reaching into a green ogre’s nose to find a trick or treat.

Food stalls offered plenty of sweet and savoury edibles.

The fair’s traditional ‘Battle of the Schools’ attracted plenty of interest, with teams of Year 6 pupils from schools across the peninsula competing in a series of fun events. Vauxhall School team Raptors emerged victorious.

Belmont Primary principal Bruce Cunningham said the fair takes “around a year of hard work” to organise. He was pleased to see such a good turnout.

Money raised from the fair will help fund more teacher-aide help and a new stone wall at the entrance to the school.
