Carnivale 2026
Carnivale News
Clairvaux Carnivale is only a week away! We are looking forward to a great day with you on Saturday 14 November.
Thank you to all our Clairvaux families who have donated and volunteered. Your support is greatly appreciated to help make Carnivale a fantastic day for families, as well as being a successful fundraising event.
Have your children entered the Baking Competition? Registrations close on Monday.
The Great Clairvaux Bake-Off is Carnivale’s student baking competition. With age categories from prep upwards and prizes to be won, it’s time to get creative. Have some fun in the kitchen and help us raise funds for the new junior playground at the same time.
Registrations close Monday 9 November 8pm and the entry fee is $4. See the
registration page for further details including cake drop-off times. The winners will be announced at 12.15pm at Carnivale. If you have any questions, please email canteenclairvaux@gmail.com
