Our fabulous students will manage pop-up karts and events, with food, drinks, artistic products, and music. Kids can enjoy all of this, plus ice cream and a bouncy castle!

NMIT is part of our regional community, so you can expect to see interactive displays from the Fire Service, the Police, and the Defence Force, too.

Sounds like fun? Come on down and join us!
