King's Carnival
ABOUT
The King David School fete has been a beloved tradition across generations and is open to the entire community. Bring the whole family for a fun day out! It's on SUNDAY 24 NOVEMBER 2024 from 10am - 4pm. Plenty of food, arts and crafts, games and inflatables / rides.
WRISTBANDS & COUPONS
While it's free to enter King's Carnival, you will need either a wristband or coupons to participate on rides, inflatables, sideshow games and the arts and crafts area. Pre-purchase your wristbands and coupons here! You can purchase additional wristbands and coupons at the ticket booth upon entry. Look for The King David School marquee as you enter!
VISITOR INFO
Entry to King's Carnival is FREE. Entrance is via Karbarook Ave, Armadale. You can walk down from Orrong Road or drop off by car (please enter from Stawell St end to avoid traffic congestion). The King David School address is 517 Orrong Road Armadale. Please note the Orrong Road gate will be closed.
VOLUNTEER SIGN UP
We ask each KDS family to sign up for one 2-3 hour shift. We have shifts before and after the carnival if that is easier for you. It takes a village to run King's Carnival!
SWEET TOOTH: BAKE AT HOME
Our famous Sweet Tooth stall is always a favourite for visitors to every King’s Carnival. There will be lots of delicious cakes, biscuits and jams to buy on the day! Another way to help is to bake a cake for sale at our sweet tooth stall or join one of our group biscuit baking sessions before the Carnival. For more details, email Nadine: nadinehauser1@hotmail.com
SILENT AUCTION
This year, instead of a raffle, we are running a Silent Auction. Please bid generously on the items online! You will be notified if you have been “outbid” and offered to increase your bid to win the prize! The bidding is open now and will close at 3pm on Sunday 24 November. Prizes will be available for collection on the day at the rear of the mansion (or arrangements can be made to collect these afterwards from the School reception during school hours).
Wristbands & Coupons
While it’s free to enter King’s Carnival, you will need either a wristband or coupons to participate on rides, inflatables, sideshow games and the arts and crafts area. Pre-purchase your wristbands and coupons so you can get straight into the fun upon arrival! You can purchase additional wristbands and coupons at the ticket booth upon entry. Look for The King David School marquee as you enter!
sign up to volunteer
It takes a village and King’s Carnival is run by a huge support network of volunteers.
We kindly ask each KDS family to sign up for a 2-3 hour shift. You will be provided with clear instructions on the day by your Stall Holder or Area Manager.
You can write your name in any of the available slots on the sign up sheet. Ask a friend to join you, or sign up wherever you choose and make new friends in our wonderful King David community!
If you would like to discuss options for volunteering and don’t know which stall would be best for you, please email us: kdspa@kds.vic.edu.au
