23 October th Birthday Celebration Sponsorship Package VIRGINIA STATE SCHOOL

The carnival is the major event for Virginia State School’s Community this year, and we expect thousands of people through our front gates. The event is being organised by an array of volunteers who make up the fete committee which is a subcommittee of the Virginia SS P & C Association. Our aim is to showcase the school, and local business and lifestyle in Virginia and the surrounding North-East suburbs of Brisbane. The Carnival will be a free family event and will be attended by all age groups, ranging from children to grandparents. This Celebration will be operational with assistance from fundraising events within the school community, and support from local businesses. The 2010 Birthday Celebration will be held on Saturday 23 October, 2:00pm – 8:00pm. VIRGINIA STATE SCHOOL

Entertainment The Celebration will come alive with an array of colour, entertainment and festivities as locals and visitors wander the site enjoying the carnival atmosphere. Live performances will entertain the crowds, whilst International and Local food stalls cook up a storm as the aroma lingers in the air to tempt the palate. Entertainment will play all day on the stage in celebration of the last 90 years with something for everyone - children performers, bands and singers, local entertainers, dancers, hot rods, unique stalls plus rides for children and adults. The fete will culminate with a fireworks extravaganza.
