A Lasting Legacy
Thanks to your support over the past three fairs, we’ve been able to begin turning our dreams into reality, and planning and work is underway to build:
✅ A sensory play space in our main playground, designed to provide inclusive, calming experiences for all students
✅ A wheelchair-accessible kitchen garden where students grow, harvest, and cook what they plant—learning hands-on life skills in a beautiful outdoor space
In 2024, we set our sights on another meaningful goal:
📚 An outdoor, all-accessible sheltered reading space—a quiet, inviting nook where students can relax and immerse themselves in a book, recharge during the day, and experience the joy of reading in the fresh air. This project is about more than just books—it's about creating a peaceful, inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
Whether you’ve helped run a stall, donated goods, sponsored a ride, or simply showed up on the day to enjoy the festivities—thank you. Your involvement makes a lasting impact.
Together, we’re creating more than just a great event—we’re building a better school experience for every student.
