Did you know… that we are extremely lucky to have this year’s food preparation overseen by catering professional and Mount View parent Jai Arya. As well as preparing amazing curries, Jai is liaising with the council to ensure that ALL our carnival food complies with strict regulations. Things to Remember on Carnival Day 1. Carnival Day is a FREE DRESS DAY! 2. Bring cash – there are no cash withdrawal facilities on site. The Unlimited Ride Wristbands will cover most of the rides, but you will still need cash for: • Dunk the Teacher – purchase tickets from the ticket booth on the day. • Fire Engine Ride tickets – purchase at the ride (get in quick, places are limited!) • Other PA Stalls – e.g. Face Painting, Nails, Crazy Hair, Balloons, Glitter Tattoos. • Food – and this will be the best international and Aussie food that we have ever had! • Marketplace stalls – stallholders will not have EFTPOS facilities. 3. The Marketplace will begin trading from 3.00pm – this year’s Marketplace is much bigger than 2012 with a wider range of stalls, so get in early before the crowds! See attached for stallholder list. Did you know… that as well as being fantastic fun for all who come, the Carnival is THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISER for OUR school each year? Last year we raised over $20,000. And finally… Did you know... our carnival started just 6 years ago as a Twilight Food Festival? It has grown through the support & co-­‐operation of the school and its families and now requires months of planning and preparation. Let’s make 2013 the best year so far!
