Bringing the Fun to Our Community

Throughout the year, our VSA team orchestrates a variety of events that bring joy to children, families, and the wider village community. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the fantastic activities we have in store or that have taken place so far:

  • Easter Fair: Hop into spring with our delightful Easter Fair! From egg hunts, crafts to games and delicious treats, there’s something for everyone. It’s a perfect way for families to celebrate the season together.
  • Bees Bash: The highlight of our summer is undoubtedly the St Bees Bash. Picture a sun-drenched day filled with traditional games, stalls, live music, raffle, food and drink. It’s a festival of fun that brings the whole community together.
  • Scarecrow Trail: Get creative with our annual Scarecrow Trail, where families and local groups from across St Bees design and display scarecrows around the village. It’s a quirky and entertaining way to showcase our community’s imagination and spirit. Plus, it’s a great outdoor adventure for kids and adults alike!

Why We Do It

Every event organized by our VSA volunteers is more than just a good time – it’s a step towards enriching our children’s educational experience. The funds raised go directly towards improving school facilities, currently the playground equipment. We believe that play is a crucial part of learning, and with your support, we can create an amazing space where our kids can explore, exercise and enjoy their time at school.

Get Involved – Join the VSA!

We’re always looking for new members to join our vibrant team of volunteers.

Volunteering with the VSA is not only a fantastic way to support the school but also an opportunity to meet new people and have a lot of fun along the way. Also feel safe in the knowledge that we won’t expect you to be involved in all our events – you can be involved as much or as little as you like.
