The fair will be held from 9am until 1pm at the school grounds and an invitation is extended to everyone to be a part of the wonderful day.
Although the event is a major fundraiser for the school's Parents and Friends Committee, the fair is primarily a school open day to showcase the college to the community.
Those attending are able to view the school grounds, its buildings and meet the teachers and students.
Last year's fair was a very enjoyable event with a focus on all things country.
With this year being the centenary commemoration of the Anzac landing on the shores of Gallipoli, the fair will mark the occasion with an 11am Anzac remeberance service featuring members of the 7th Bemboka Light Horse brigade.
The school will be holding a number of fundraising stalls including a second-hand book stall, clothing stall and cake stall.
In the library there will be a gallery and various displays of students' work, which has focused on family history and war.
Students from the hospitality class will be offering barista coffees, hot chocolates and other beverages, plus a selection of sweet or savoury dishes.
The extremely popular petting zoo will return, there will be numerous food and market stalls, a Devonshire tea stall run by the Anglican ladies, jumping castles, hot rods and vintage cars display, old machinery display, whip cracking, cow milking demonstrations, pony rides, face painting and temporary spray on tattoos available.
A kids' alley will be set up to keep the youngsters entertained with such activities as bobbing ducks and painting of plaster moulds.
The students have been rehearsing musical pieces to perform and another student will be showing off their fire twirling skills.
Radio 2EC will be broadcasting live from the school grounds and one student's dad will be bringing a bullock team to the fair.
There will also be bike riding on the school's three-kilometre mountain bike track
With so much to do there is sure to be something to please everyone.
Organisers are hoping for another successful and enjoyable event with clear skies and plenty of happy smiling faces.
