Box Cart Racing at Fairbairn College is one of the most exciting and highly anticipated events on the school calendar. This lively annual tradition brings together learners, staff and parent volunteers for a morning filled with creativity, friendly competition and vibrant school spirit.

Preparing for the Box Cart Fundraiser

In the weeks leading up to the event, learners collect sponsorships in support of the school. The fundraising challenge encourages learners to get involved, take initiative and work towards a common goal.

On the day, the campus comes alive as learners arrive dressed in civvies or according to their class themes, adding colour and enthusiasm to the festivities.

Exciting Box Cart Races

Classes take part in the much-anticipated Box Cart races, cheering one another on and celebrating teamwork. The races provide an opportunity for learners to enjoy some friendly competition while working together and supporting their classmates.

The event encourages creativity, participation and school spirit, making it a memorable occasion for learners and the wider school community.

Supporting Fairbairn College

This important fundraiser plays a key role in supporting the maintenance and development of school facilities. The school raises approximately R500 000 each year through the fundraiser, making the event an important contribution to the school community.

Prizes are awarded to the classes and individual learners who raise the most funds, recognising their dedication, initiative and commitment to supporting the school.
