We now have a school boat!

There’s just one problem: it doesn’t have a name yet, and we can’t have it sailing around anonymous. We need your help to fix that!

Drop your best (or punniest) name suggestions in the comments below. Let’s see what you’ve got!

A big shout out to Mario, Brad and Little Tonne Diggers who helped get this job done!

It's the day before the big day. Balaclava School Fair 2026 is TOMORROW (Saturday, 28th March)!

The event team are doing the final prep. The students are putting the finishing touches to their crafts and stalls. The baking is being baked.

📢Now we need YOU, our extended school community, for some last-minute help so we get as many people along as possible.📢

How, you ask?? Try some/all of these:
✅Mark yourself as 'going' on the Event Page
👍Like some of our Event posts
📲Share our Event to your Facebook or WhatsApp groups
☕Tell your work crew at morning tea today
📞Get on the phone to family and friends (old school style)
👩‍🌾Have a chat across the fence to your neighbours, and let them know it's on
⏰Mark it in your own calendar

Easy.

Then of course🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️head down nice and early tomorrow morning with the whole clan.

Gates open 10am (and you'll want to get there before the crowds to get all the best stuff).

See you there😁
