The 37th Annual St. Michael’s College Fair

We would like to invite your company to partner with St. Michael’s College Caboolture in supporting our 37th Annual Fair, which will take place on May 17th, 2025. This major fundraising event offers your business a unique opportunity to engage with over 5,000 attendees, including key corporate leaders, families, and local businesses from the Moreton Bay Region. It’s an excellent way to promote your brand within a community that values and supports local enterprises.

By becoming a sponsor, you will play an essential role in preserving the legacy of our College Fair. There are various ways your business will be recognized before and during the event, as well as throughout the remainder of 2025. These opportunities include:

• A digital campaign reaching up to 231,000 residents and visitors in our region
• Your business information featured in the Fair program
• Promotion through the Fair’s Facebook campaign
• Your logo prominently displayed on a banner at the Fair
• Public announcements acknowledging your sponsorship during the event
• Your business listed in the St. Michael’s College Business Directory
• The opportunity to provide marketing materials for 500 Fair info bags

The College has grown significantly over the years and established itself as a leader in primary education in the region. Thanks to its strong community involvement and the dedication of our volunteers, the Annual Fair has become a highly anticipated event in the area, with many families choosing it as their alternative to the Ekka. Local groups provide the entertainment, business sponsors back the rides, and our parents, staff, and friends manage the stalls—it truly is a community effort. All proceeds from the Fair go towards funding vital resources and equipment to enhance the educational experience and well-being of our students.

We sincerely hope you will consider one of our Sponsorship Packages, offering valuable advertising exposure for your business. For further details, feel free to contact me directly. We look forward to welcoming you as a valued sponsor of the 37th Annual St. Michael’s College Fair in 2025. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out at 07 5495 8311.

Kindest Regards,
Michelle Hendry

History

St. Michael’s College is an Independent Primary School with an Early Learning Centre which has been providing exceptional educational opportunities to young children and students for over 40 years. Set within a bushland environment with a peaceful intangible feeling, it is adjacent to the St. Michael’s Community, Church, Abbey Museum and Farm established 50 years ago, which makes it an ideal setting for an Annual School Fair.

St. Michael’s College Fair is a day to remember! It has been part of the school tradition since it started and attracts a growing number of visitors and families every year. The Fair is based on a country-style event and the 5,000 visitors enjoy the variety of Stalls, Rides, Food and Entertainment all day. A Fair Committee consisting of parents, staff and alumni work together to organize this huge day and uniquely all staff and parents work on the day itself.

Our Vision

Our vision is to continue the tradition of engaging the whole community – local businesses, community groups, local entertainment groups, our staff members and an army of parent workers past and present from the College. Using this platform, the Fair not only provides all the patrons with a fabulous day but also raises essential funds for the continuous improvement of the education provided at the College and Early Learning Centre. Our fundraising efforts have enabled the College to purchase IT equipment, classroom resources, fund sporting programs and build new playgrounds.

Our Sponsorship Aim

Through your generous sponsorship of this event, your business details are exposed to a huge number of our patrons which creates a mutually beneficial relationship. We sincerely and genuinely thank all of our wonderful sponsors for their contribution, which enables the College to reach its fundraising goals. This year all sponsors will be included in the College business directory for the use of parents and friends of the College. There are four types of sponsorship packages available: Major, Gold, Silver and Bronze.

The Event

The Fair will be held on Saturday, 17th May 2025. It is a day packed with excitement for young and old alike. Food, Rides, Entertainment, Stalls, Exhibitions, Business and Community Group Displays all contribute to making the day a memorable event for our local and wider community. For the first time in many years, the Fair will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display.
