Springfest

Celebrate the start of spring in style as we round off term two with a festival of culture and community!

Join us on Wednesday 18 March from 11am on Central Campus for a day packed with free treats, hands-on activities, henna art, games and creative fun, all bringing together the joy of both Eid and Easter.
