We would be grateful for your pre-loved, unused/unwanted clothing, books, toys, sports gear, furniture, electronics and household items for our Monster Garage Sale.

We are excited to announce St Paul's will be hosting a Community Gala this year, an event being led by the school’s students with support from the Parents’ Association.

St Paul’s Community Gala will be held on Friday 11 September at 3.30-6.00pm on the school grounds. The gala, a carnival type event, will have a primary focus to pull together our local Fairfield and Bankwood community and provide fun and celebration post Covid-19. It will offer a range of activities, a talent quest, food stalls and a monster garage sale.

Funds raised from the gala will be used to support our local ‘Over the Fence Ministry’ schools – Fairfield and Bankwood Primary Schools whose communities were mostly impacted from the effects of Covid-19. We are hoping to raise $5,000 for each school.We'll keep you posted about when these items can be brought into school and where to drop them off.  

We need your help
