The community came out in droves in a vibrant display of friendship, fun, and generosity at Good Shepherd Lutheran Colleges’ annual Shepherd’s Fair.
Blessed with a crisp winter day, the school grounds were transformed into a bustling hub of excitement, welcoming a record-breaking crowd of families, friends, and supporters from across the region.
Attendees enjoyed an array of fun rides that kept the children thrilled, whilst the variety of stalls showcased the homemade goodness that has become a hallmark of the event.
From delectable cakes to a wide range of foods, the culinary offerings delighted taste buds and brought a true sense of local flavour to the day.
Shepherd’s Fair coordinator Karen von Homeyer said, “There is always something for everyone at Shepherd’s Fair – no matter the age – it’s a great day out for the whole family and a fun opportunity to catch up with friends.”
Volunteers, the heart and soul of the Fair, worked tirelessly to ensure its success.
Their dedication and hard work paid off, as the event not only provided a day of entertainment but also raised significant funds for the College. These funds will go towards enhancing school resources, directly benefitting the students and enriching their educational experience.
College principal Anthony Dyer said, “This annual event is the culmination of many hours of hard work by students, parents, teachers and other College staff, and is a reflection of the rich creativity, kindness and generosity of the Good Shepherd College Community.”
As the sun set, the evening ended with spectacular fireworks display that lit up the winter sky, a fitting finale to a day filled with joy and camaraderie.
The success of the fair would not have been possible without the generous support of local sponsors and the tireless efforts of the volunteers.
