This year marks the 70th edition of the historic St. George’s School Fair taking place at the Junior School Campus on Saturday, May 6th from 10:00 am–4:00 pm.


SEE YOU AT THE FAIR! 

Originating with the Tea Room 70 years ago, The Fair has evolved to include some classic favourites like the Cake Walk and Midway Games, and new favourites like the Saints Beast Obstacle Course and B-I-N-G-O! This year, there will be several new and exciting Fair booths like the Student Arts Booth, the Photo Booth, and even the return of the premium Bottle Booth! The special edition 70th Connection Booth will bring together extraordinary members of the Saints community who have played an important role over the last 70 years of The Fair by working or volunteering at the School.
 
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 6th!
