HCK Christmas Craft Fair

16 Dec

The Christmas Craft Fair took place on Friday 5th December in the Assembly Hall. It was wonderful to see so many creative and enterprising students take the initiative to create fabulous high-quality products and services.

The students involved must be commended for the time and effort they put into making their goods and promoting their businesses. A big thank you to all the students, staff and parents for supporting the fair.

See below a note by Rachel Murdock (TY and co-founder of Slime Spot):

HCK had their annual Christmas Craft Fair last Friday which was filled with festive music, decorations, and handmade goodies. The atmosphere was great. It was such a nice way for our school to come together and get into the Christmas spirit. Our group set up a stand to sell homemade slime, which worked out brilliantly and got lots of sales! It was so much fun sharing something we made and seeing everyone enjoy it.

Ms. Redmond and Ms. Quinn were very impressed by the high standard and creativity of all the participants. Below is a list of the 2025 HCK Craft Fair awards. Congratulations to the student who won an award.
