Almost a week to go until the Bishop’s Family Carnival at Rossall on 8th November and we are so appreciative of the exciting line up that the Carnival Committee have worked so hard to put together.

Two thirds of the tickets have already been sold, so if you haven’t already purchased yours, HURRY!
Tickets are only available online at bishopscarnival.co.za
Ticket sales close on 30 October and there will be no ticket sales at the gate on the day.
Boys will be sent their tickets/ tokens via their class teacher on 4th/ 5th November.

The general access price is R175 and this amount includes access to various games and activities such as:
Mechanical bull rides, an inflatable rocket shooter, a Velcro sticky wall, a giant inflatable obstacle course, a jumping castle, face painters, balloon artists, jugglers and an inflatable dodge ball arena!  All of these activities are free and part of the access ticket.
There will also be entertainment for adults as well as a licensed liquor bar and lots of different food vendors.
The event is a CASHLESS  event and the bar and food vendors will be accepting either card payments or Snapscan.

For the grade stalls, the activities are paid for with tokens. These are valued at R10 each and you can purchase these online now or you can purchase them at a token stall on the day of the Carnival.
Here are some examples of the activities you can expect:

• Little ones can try their luck at fun games like Toss the Toilet Roll, Pin the Tie on the Teacher, and the ever-popular Tombola. With plenty of interactive activities, including the Bean Bag Toss, there’s lots to keep the youngest carnival-goers entertained
  
• Get ready for some classic carnival fun with Toss the Ring and Pop the Balloon at the Grade 1 stall.
  
• Grade 3 brings action with the Inflatable Soccer Dart Game and Can Toss or Hand Buzzer challenges.
  
• For those wanting a fun challenge, the Grade 5 stall will feature the classic carnival game High Striker—can you ring the bell? Plus, don't miss the chance to Throw a Pie at the Teacher!  Mr De Sousa, Mr Ncube, Mr Groom and Mr Dudley are all in the firing line!
  
• The Grade 7’s have their own chill area (hence their special yellow arm band).
  
• Every grade has different activities as well as snacks (like Candy Floss, ice creams, sweets, cup cakes etc).  You can read all about these awesome stalls here bishopscarnival.co.za/tickets

If you are able to assist on the day, please contact your class rep as we always need parents to help us manage the grade stalls. Your boys love seeing you participate and it adds enormous value to making the Carnival a true community event.

The Bishops Family Carnival is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and celebrate 175 years of Bishops. All of the proceeds raised at the event will be redirected to the various outreach programs supported by the PA. These include feeding programs at Athwood Primary School, stationery drives and upkeep at St Paul’s Primary school as well as supporting the VUSA academy.
