Fresh produce, live entertainment, and a cricket match are some of the attractions of Salesian College Sunbury’s annual Rupertswood Harvest event this year.
Set for Friday, March 28, the evening event will include student-produced honey, fresh fruit and vegetables, seedlings, seeds, dried herbs, and crafted products available for purchase; machinery and livestock displays; butter making; plant sales; orienteering; an Ashes tribute cricket match; and live music from student bands and buskers.
Campus principal Mark Brockhus said the Rupertswood Harvest is “always a highlight” on the school’s calendar, bringing together students, families, and the Sunbury community.
“I’m especially looking forward to seeing our students proudly showcase their hard work – whether it’s through fresh produce from our agriculture program, live music performances, or interactive activities,” Mr Brockhus said.
“It’s an opportunity to celebrate our strong community spirit while enjoying great food and entertainment in the beautiful setting of our college grounds,” he said.
He said that over the years, feedback about the event has been “overwhelmingly positive.”
“The Rupertswood Harvest has grown into a much-loved tradition, now welcoming over 3,000 visitors annually. It’s an event that people look forward to year after year, and we’re proud of how it has evolved into such a significant celebration of community, creativity, and connection,” he said.
“I encourage everyone to come along and experience it for themselves – it truly is an event not to be missed!”
The event will run from 4.30–7.30pm on Friday, March 28 at Salesian College Sunbury, 1 Macedon Street, Sunbury.
