Cracker carnival convener Belinda Turco said this year the school was introducing a Karaoke room and “resurrecting the chocolate wheel”.

“The team at Murraycino’s are doubling production capacity for spun Fairy Floss shaped into amazing creations,” she said. “This was a real hit at last year’s carnival, with queues throughout the day and night.”
