Hurlstone held its annual Country Fair on the 31st of August. This was a great opportunity for us to have our own stand with many fun awareness games and booths. Our aim this year was to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness in our school and community.

Games included the Ping Pong and Slime game. Many people who tried our games out, found it extremely difficult to win. We also had many booths along with our fun games. A finger-print tree banner was hung at the back wall for people to come by, contribute and decorate our tree with their own finger prints. We had a Plant a Wish Scheme towards the right side, where those who approached us with a plastic bottle which was to be recycled and used as a tree pot, were given a free plant. There was also a Panda Made Me Do It booth where those who came by, could write a message on the whiteboard and take photos with our lovely panda, Jason and Andy. Accompanying the booth was Pin the Nose on the Panda game. The Environment Committee also handed out pamphlets to raise awareness for different campaigns.

We were lucky to have a special guest visit our stand, ex-Hurlstonian actress Kate Ritchie!

Thank you to everyone who dropped by our stand and we hope we've enlightened you to become more environmentally friendly!
