Mallorca International School was filled with festive cheer on Friday as families, students and staff came together for the school’s much-anticipated Christmas Extravaganza Fair. The annual event is a highlight of the school calendar and once again showcased creativity, community spirit and student entrepreneurship.
The fair featured an impressive range of stalls offering festive food, drinks, gifts and games. Visitors enjoyed homemade bakes, sweet treats, hot chocolate stations and warming mulled wine, alongside savoury canapés and refreshments. A lively bar serving local soft drinks and beer added to the celebratory atmosphere.
Shopping and activities were equally popular, with handmade jewellery, crocheted items, eco-friendly student-designed stickers, face painting and a Christmas-themed photo booth drawing crowds throughout the afternoon. Sustainability was also a key focus, with second-hand stalls selling toys, books and school uniforms, encouraging reuse and responsible consumption.
Students played a central role in the event, running a wide variety of imaginative enterprises and games. Highlights included Christmas lucky dips, creative arts stalls, festive cookie decorating and interactive games such as “Santa’s Splat” and “Bounce and Bucket”. A VR roller coaster experience added a modern twist, while classic favourites like “Fish for a Gift” proved popular with younger visitors.
In addition to celebrating the festive season, the Christmas Extravaganza also raised funds for charity, reinforcing the school’s commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. Parents, staff and students worked together to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while pupils gained valuable experience in teamwork, organisation and entrepreneurship.
The event marked a joyful start to the festive season and was a wonderful example of how a school community can come together to support both local causes and one another.
