Twilight Open Evening

Inaburra’s Open Day and Fete is a super fun day for kids with some exhilarating gliding and spiraling experiences including The Storm, Pirate Ship, Swing Chairs, Tea Cups, Inflatable Slide, Round Up, Horizontal Bungee and The Gladiator. The fun rides precinct will be the lower basketball courts.

One of the best ways to see Inaburra is to take a school tour with one of our Student Leaders. Tours will operate throughout the day from 9:00am until 3:00pm. Discover our Senior School Learning Commons and After-School Study Centre, Stage 3 Learning Centre and Sensory Playground, all ground-breaking educational spaces. Tours cover both Junior and Senior Campus and can be tailored to view areas of the school that are of greatest interest to you.

For enrolment enquiries visit the Enrolments page.

Inaburra encourages all our school families to put aside a couple of hours to help out on one of the stalls on Fete Day. It is a fantastic way to get to know other parents, especially if you volunteer to serve with others from your Year Group. Nominate your preferred time and stall by completing an easy online Volunteer Recruitment Form below. Simply fill out your contact details, select the stall/ time and send. You can volunteer for more than one activity. Remember the more volunteers we have the less work for all. No experience necessary.

The Inaburra Cake Stall will once again be selling a huge variety of delicious cupcakes, muffins, biscuits, cookies, slices, large cakes and sweet treats on Open Day and Fete.

To understand how Inaburra families can best assist the Cake Stall we have provided some FAQs:

Q: Who can bake cakes?
A: Cake Stall packs will be sent home with students in Year 5, Year 7 and Year 8 on Friday 6 March, but we warmly welcome contributions from any other parents who wish to bake. Additional packs will be available from School Reception.

Q: What cakes are appropriate?
A: ‘Cakes’ can include cupcakes, muffins, biscuits, cookies, slices, large cakes, sweet treats, banana bread, brownies etc. Please ensure baked goods are NUT-FREE. Gluten free baking is also welcome.

Q: How are the cakes to be packed and kept?
A:  ‘Packs’ containing instructions, cake box, labels, cellophane bags and ribbons have been provided for packaging baked goods. These will be sent home on Friday before the fete with Year 5, 7 and 8.

Large cakes or cupcakes may be supplied in the cake boxes provided or plastic containers clearly labelled to be collected by you from the Cake Stall after 1:00pm on Fete day.

Q: When should cakes be brought in?
A: Ideally cakes are baked no more than a few days before the Fete to ensure they are fresh and delivered to school on Friday (day before) or Saturday morning of Fete day.

Drop off instructions:
Will be announced closer to the date

Q: What if I am not a good baker?
A: Packet mixes are a good alternative if you are not a baker. We would prefer not to receive pre-made baked goods purchased from a commercial bakery or supermarket.

Q: How much baking can I donate?
A: The Cakes Stall is always a sell-out so we place no limit on the amount you wish to donate. We will accept it all.

Please do not feel obliged to contribute if you are not in a position to do so.

Thanks for your ongoing support,
The Cake Stall Coordinator
