School Fair
The Sha Tin College and Junior School Fair takes place at the end of November each academic school year in order to raise additional funds for school equipment, such as computers and interactive whiteboards. 10% of the proceeds gathered from the Sha Tin College Fair is donated to the various charities elected by the Houses individually, such as the Esther Benjamins Trust and Habitat for Humanity. The School Fair comprises musical entertainment, game stalls and a raffles sale.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or fair:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“The farmers crowd to the fair today in obedience to the same ancient law,... as naturally as bees swarm and follow their queen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
