Carnivale will kick off from 1pm to 6pm at the Nowra East Public School Oval and will feature something for everyone.
A DJ, rides, market and community stalls, Lego and art exhibition, a photo booth, slide show games, show bags, face painting, carnival food and competitions with plenty of prizes to be won will all feature at tomorrow’s Carnivale spectacular.
A range of rides catering to all age groups will be available and the purchase of a $30 pass allows unlimited access.
A 2015 fully signed Rabbitohs jersey will also be raffled off and comes framed. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5. The raffle will be drawn tomorrow.
Relieving assistant principal Talisha Opalniuk encouraged the community to support the event.
“We’ve always had Carnivale but it’s always been a school-based event so this is the first time we’ve invited the community and had it on such a large scale,” she said.
We've got some really beautiful kids at Nowra East Public School and the year six students deserve a good celebration,

“We’ve got some really beautiful kids at Nowra East Public School and the year six kids deserve a good celebration.
“Hopefully the community can get behind us and support them and we can host a similar event next year.”
The year six formal will be held on Tuesday, December 5.
Beginning with a special ceremony, students will then walk through the school’s arches and take their last photo at Nowra East Public School.
Last year’s ceremony saw different slideshows played, including photos of the students as babies and where they are now.
Students were also asked to provide their most memorable moment of their schooling years and leave behind some words of advice to the year five students.
Ms Opalnuik said it’s a wonderful event for students and their families.
“Some of the students are nervous about going off the high school, some are excited, some are sad to be leaving but the farewell will be a fantastic celebration for all the students,” she said.
“It’s also a wonderful, reflective process for the kids.”
