Oyster Bay Public School Art & Craft Festival

Art and Craft Festival Info for Parents

Our Art and Craft Festival will run from 29 to 31 May 2026. It is one of the biggest events of the year and brings our school community together. The weekend is full of stalls, food, art displays and entertainment. Every family plays a part in making it happen.

How the voluntold system works

Every family will be given one shift to help across the weekend. This keeps things fair and makes sure no one is carrying the whole load. You will receive your shift closer to the event. The tasks are easy and you will be supported. Think simple roles such as helping at a stall, assisting with set up or helping in the gallery.

If you need to swap your shift, do not stress. We have a Facebook group set up for roster swaps. Parents use it every year and it keeps everything organised. Once you post your swap request, someone will pick it up and the change will be recorded for you. There is nothing else you need to do.

Want to sponsor the event

Our festival runs on community support. If you or your business would like to sponsor the event, you can read more and reach out here.

Want to join the festival team

If you want to get involved behind the scenes, we would love the help. The roles range from small to large and there is something for everyone. You can put your hand up here.

What to expect

The weekend is fun, busy and full of school spirit. Children love seeing their parents involved. The funds raised go directly back to improving our school, so every shift makes a real difference.

If you have any questions, please reach out. We are here to help make the event smooth and enjoyable for all families.

We acknowledge the Dharawal People, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and learn here in the Sutherland Shire. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who are part of our community.
