Carnivale 2026
Carnivale News
The countdown has started to Clairvaux Carnivale on Saturday 14 November!
Our community event is organised by parents and proudly supported by generous sponsors.
Another edition of our Carnivale newsletter will be sent home with students shortly, detailing the exciting activities planned for the day.
You can support this family fun day and major fundraiser for the new junior school playground in many ways. Our contact details are listed at the bottom of this article, and we would love to hear from you if you can assist with any of these tasks, please.
Thank you to everyone who generously donated gift stall items in Term 2.
Join our Coordinators team
We need your help to fill the following roles as part of a large team of
Coordinators. You could share any of these roles with a friend.
Please contact us to find out more information.
This is a good chance to get more Dads involved!
a) Facepainting Coordinator to work with Grade 5 &6 students, high schoolvolunteers, volunteer parents, and Clairvaux teachers.
b) Spinning Wheel or Lucky Envelopes Coordinator to help organise a
fundraising game.
c) Silent Auction and Donations team member – we have a great team in
place, we just need more help because this area will hopefully raise the most
money for the new junior school playground.
Wine donations – by Friday 14 August please
Mystery bottles is a very popular adults stall at Carnivale and to run this
game, we need a large amount of wine. This is our next donation drive for red, white, and sparkling wine. We don’t need non-alcoholic wine, thanks.
Wine donations must be delivered by an adult and cannot be sent to school
with students. Please either deliver your wine donation to the Clairvaux Office
or contact us to arrange an alternative drop-off if the Office hours don’t work
for you.
Display a Carnivale sign at the front of your house or business
If you live or work on a busy street near Clairvaux, we would love to display a Carnivale real estate board or small sign at the front of your property. Having many signs around the area will boost attendance on the day.
Connections and borrowed items
We are seeking parents who have a connection with any of the following
businesses that may be able to help us organise a good rate, or those who
can loan us these borrowed items. The costs to run Carnivale are rising and
we are looking for ways to reduce spending.
a) Connections to any of the following businesses:
- Cool Room hire
- Event Security company
- Portaloo hire
b) Borrow 2 x Bain Maries
c) Borrow Large Eskies
Silent auction and prize donations
For the silent auction and game prizes, we need a large quantity of goods and vouchers of any value. All prizes are wonderful, and small denomination
vouchers are great too like coffee vouchers! Maybe you run a business or
have a connection to a shop or restaurant to ask. Businesses are publicly
acknowledged for the contribution.
Spread the word
Please tell everyone to save the date!
