Our community gets to welcome back the iconic Stanwell Park Public School Spring Fair this September. The first since the pandemic, but that’s not the only first this year.
As part of the wonderful next instalment, a unique local experience will be included – The Stanny Cup!
The Stanny Cup is an opportunity the community to come together and ignited the passion we have for soccer and showcase the great junior talent we have in 2508. What is it exactly?
Running over the whole day of the Spring Fair will be three invitational matches, each played on the school’s boutique astro turf pitch. Limited to primary school students, there will be exclusive Stanny Cup trophies and bragging rights up for grabs across three age groups:
- Kindergarten to Year 2
- Year 3 to Year 4
- Year 5 to Year 6
Each round will not only showcase some of the local talent we have, but also focus on being inclusive. The invited teams will not be limited to those from Stanwell Park Public School, but come from across the community. Furthermore, in the year of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, The Stanny Cup will also champion diversity through a balanced mixed-gender approach in teams.
However, if someone is not part of a team, do not despair. During the day, we will also have skills competitions. These skills competitions will test both the agility and accuracy of participants. Limited to children of primary school age, all you need to do is turn up and enter for a chance to win some fantastic prizes.
