SPECIAL EVENTS AND OUTINGS

Special annual events for Parents and Children

It is important for your child / children to witness your interest and involvement in their school and in what they do at school. 

Parents are also encouraged to assist with school activities such as functions, mending, and transportation for outings. You are warmly invited to attend all meetings and the fun social events listed on the term plan, including our annual fundraiser. 

This event, now known as the Clivia Family Fair, has grown from the much-loved Clivia Pre-Primary Classic Walk, which was held almost every year since it's inception in 2005 at the Pietermaritzburg Botanical Gardens and remains an important part of our school's history.

The Clivia Family Fair is a community market hosted on the school premises, offering small businesses the opportunity to host stalls in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. With the playground open for children and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the day, it is a celebration of connection, community and shared enjoyment.
