What an incredible day our community celebrated on Saturday 15 November at the Glenaeon Family Fair!
The Fair is a cherished tradition in our School’s annual calendar and is only made possible through the combined efforts of many students, parents and carers, staff, and friends in the Glenaeon community. This year’s Fair was a shining example of purposeful collaboration, with so many people contributing in such meaningful ways. A heartfelt thank you to Class 4 families, and to Jamie, for taking the lead in organising the Fair this year.
We are deeply grateful to the 2025 Fair Coordinators from Class 4 – Louise, Syrie and Tian. Your calm leadership and steady commitment to creating a more sustainable and harmonious experience of the Fair benefited our whole community. To all Class 4 families: you did it, and we thank you! Class 4 were joined by families from Kindergarten to Class 6 and Year 8 who volunteered in many roles: our grateful thanks to each of you. We also acknowledge the many students, especially from Years 9 to 12, who volunteered at the Fair.
We thank the Glenaeon Parents Association’s Steering Committee for enabling the Fair’s hosting and fundraising. We acknowledge Nick as the Fair Mentor and 2025 Logistics Coordinator whose knowledge sharing and all-round support were genuinely vital to the Fair.
We warmly thank the many external stallholders who enriched the Fair with their wonderful offerings and community spirit. We were delighted to have more student stalls than ever at this year's Fair and congratulate each of you! We also thank and appreciate the many businesses and suppliers who supported the Fair.
Thank you to each and every student, parent, family and community member who contributed and enabled this year’s Fair, whether through baking, crafting, donating, cooking, problem‑solving, running a stall or activity, or simply attending to support the School – we are truly grateful. The Glenaeon community is unique, authentic, grounded, and collaborative. The Fair is a wonderful reminder of what we can achieve together for our children and for each other.
We would like to truly thank and gratefully acknowledge the many people without whose contributions the Glenaeon Family Fair would not have been possible in 2025 – please click 'show more' below.
