The Whangaparāoa Gala, always a family favourite, is on this weekend.
Organisers Alannah Elliott and Debbie Pincott say the children always enjoy turning their school into a fairground for the day.
All the most popular stalls, including cakes, plants and toys, will be there as well as face painting and lucky dips.
There are three new games – plinko, pick up sticks and golf putting – and a bouncy castle in the Under Fives area.
The range of food includes a barbecue, nachos, sushi and popcorn, as well as local food trucks serving up ice cream, coffee, hot chips, candy floss, snow cones and Vietnamese food.
Festivities begin with a performance from the school’s kapa haka group at 10.45am and there is plenty more live entertainment on the stage throughout the day.
The event is raising funds to provide learning assistants to every class, expand the sandpit and playground and develop the nature garden.
The gala is on Saturday, March 16.
