Carnival would be impossible without the valued help of our wonderful community of volunteers and donors. Discover how you can help. Scroll through our listings below.

Stall Volunteers

First and foremost we need volunteers to do one or more 2-hours shifts on a stall during the day. Carnival runs from 10:00am-4:00pm and we need vollies throughout the entire day. It's a great way to get into the spirit of Carnival, be satisfied that you have contributed, and still enjoy a full day of attractions. If you can help on a stall for 2hrs or more, please sign up at our Sign Up site: CLICK HERE

Alternatively, let Katrina and Anna know by emailing us with your Name, your preferred time  and what stall/s you might like best to volunteer your time to.  Email: carnival@stritas.qld.edu.au

Cakes

Let's Eat Cake...

Carnival Cake Drop Off Day is Saturday 30 July (the day before Carnival) from 8:00am-2:00pm. Please mark this in your diary.

Are you able to help tag and pack cakes on this day? Please email Julie Haines or Marnie Dening at carnival@stritas.qld.edu.au if you can help us out, even if just for an hour. We'd love your help.

Or can you bake for the Carnival Cake stall? Whole cakes - all the traditional favourites - plus sponges and fruitcakes are great sellers, as are loaves and biscuits, slices and muffins. Don't forget the Gluten Free and Vegan offerings, as well as the items that are a little bit special such as fancy biscuits, decorated cupcakes, novelty cakes, or even treats we haven't seen for years that Mum or Grandma used to make us.

If you need a box, just email Julie and Marnie at carnival@stritas.qld.edu.au and drop-off can be organised for you at Student Services.

So grab your wooden spoon, indulge us with those centuries-old treats and ensure the tradition of a sweet-tooth remains alive.

Bring-In Morning

The Carnival Bring In Morning for Books, Wine, Beer and Clothes is on Saturday 23 July from 9:00-11:00am. Entry to the College is via Stafford Street only, directly into Nagle Building Car Park for drop off point.

  • Donations of Clothes for the Pre-Loved Clothes stall can be accepted if items have been washed/pressed or dry-cleaned and are neatly folded.
  • Donations of Books for the Book Stall can be accepted if items are clean and in saleable condition.
  • Wine and Beer of all varieties and quantities for the Bar and Wine Wheel are gratefully accepted, as are Dan Murphy's or BWS gift cards.
  • The College is not hosting a Trash N Treasure stall this year and as such items in this category will not be accepted.

Please note: Plants for the Plant Stall cannot be accepted on this Bring In morning as the College has no suitable storage, nor carers for your lovely plants. Plants will be gratefully received on Saturday 30 July from 10:30am onwards to the Tennis Court area.  Email the Carnival organisers if you have any questions at: carnival@stritas.qld.edu.au
