The school needs new equipment including juggling balls, flower sticks, spinning plate sticks, and knee, elbow and wrist pads for stilt walkers.
The school has started working with a walking globe, a 70cm diameter solid polyurethane sphere that students learn to balance on. They perform various tricks while balancing on the globe.
The school has also branched into clowning and is putting together an array of costumes. They are collecting a variety of masks and props that can be used during rehearsals and performances.
The Trash and Treasure and Farmers Market will be held at Alexandra Hall, Elizabeth Park on Sunday.
The school will have a variety of food at its cake stall, as well as tea, coffee, and a barbecue with hot sausages.
There might even be some circus students on hand to demonstrate some of their amazing skills.
