The Sunday Breakfast School Fair Review

As the days get longer and warmer schools around the country shake themselves into fundraising mode and put on their school fairs and galas.

Myself and sometime SB contributor Bronwyn Bent enjoy a good school fair, so we thought we'd take along a recording device to put down our thoughts on a few fairs we visited this weekend.

The fairs this week include: Michael Park School in Ellerslie, which we gave a 3 out of 5, and St Francis School in Point Chevalier, which recieved a 4.25 out of five.
