This event is 100% powered by volunteers — thanks to our amazing GSS community for your time, donations, and support!
Community in Action
All 2025 Fair proceeds support GSS P&C projects — including a new oval playground, flexible classroom furniture, and vital learning resources.
Get Involved + Support
The Fair wouldn't exist without the generous donations of our community. All money raised from the 2025 Fair will go towards renovating the oval playground and flexible furniture in our classrooms. Every contribution helps make the Fair spectacular! Here are 6 ways to get involved. You can help in so many ways:
1
Allocated Class Sign Ups
Each GSS student class has been assigned responsibility for a specific stall or area. Find out which stall your child's class is supporting and how you can contribute to their success.

Marketing and Visibility Opportunities
In-kind support, raffle + auction donations

We’re so grateful for the generous spirit of our community. As our event is run entirely by volunteers, we’re focusing our efforts on managing only donations of goods and services that directly support the delivery of the event. This helps us keep things simple and make the best use of our small team’s time and resources.
If you’d like to help, please let us know what you’re offering and we’ll be in touch if it aligns with the event’s requirements.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Why Sponsor?
Your partnership helps create an unforgettable event for the community while offering your brand:
  • We have ~5,000 + people attending, majority of whom are locals or from surrounding suburbs
  • Whether you’re new to the area or established, this is a great way to build and strengthen a relationship with the local community and build awareness of your business.
  • Brand exposure to a broad local audience in a suburb with limited advertising opportunities
  • Opportunities to engage directly with customers in a local business oriented community
  • Positive brand association with a family-friendly, community-focused event
  • A chance to give back and support initiatives that benefit Graceville State School’s students
Keeping Kids Safe at the Fair
Your child's safety is our top priority. We will have First Aid and Police on site all day at the Fair. But here are some tips to help you and your stay safe on the day:
Write Your Contact Details
Write your mobile number on the child's wrist or arm, or on their ride wristband.
(A marker works great!)
Meeting Points
If you have older kids, choose a meeting spot so that they know where to find a family member.
Safety Team
Volunteers in bright highly visible vests will be visible around the grounds. Speak to any of these friendly volunteers if you have an issue.
Pictures Help
Take a quick picture of what your child is wearing in the morning.
And of course stay together and have fun!
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Bring Your Own Keep Cup
Help us reduce waste by bringing your reusable coffee cup to the fair
Refillable Water Bottles
Plenty of water taps available throughout the grounds. Stay hydrated sustainably!
BYO Shopping Bag
