Moss Vale Public School Country Fair – A Celebration of Community & Purpose
📣 Important MVPS Country Fair Update 📣
After much consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision that the Moss Vale Public School Country Fair will not go ahead in 2025.
We know how much this event means to our school community, but we’re already turning our focus toward making next year’s 2026 Country Fair absolutely EPIC!
🗓 Save the Date: Friday 6th November 2026
We’ve already started planning with a fresh new format and BIG ideas — and now we need YOUR help to bring it all to life!
Backed by Community
The Country Fair is a major highlight of our school calendar, and it simply wouldn't be possible without the dedication and heart of our incredible volunteer team. Parents, carers, staff, and friends of the school all pitch in—alongside generous support from local businesses and the Southern Highlands community—to bring the event to life.
We’re already full steam ahead planning for a bigger, brighter, and even more exciting Country Fair in 2026 — and we’d love for you to be part of it again!
📅 Save the Date: Friday 6th November 2026
We’re refreshing the format, building in more community fun, and planning well ahead — all thanks to the support of generous supporters like you who have helped make past fairs such a success.

We're looking for local performing arts groups to join our wonderful school band and choir and help entertain the crowds. Whether you run a dance school, a dojo, a music ensemble or a gym, if you can put on a show for the enthusiastic fair-goers, we'd love to have you come and perform.

Your Support
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.
Taking a break this year from planning the fair, will allow us to finish bringing all of these developments to life, with all the finishing touches, so that we can showcase these fantastic areas at the next fair, and you can see for yourself where all of the proceeds from our past fairs have gone!
Whether you 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.
