Among the fun were rides, games, food, dancing and music from various cultures.

Traditional fete stalls - including craft, garden and books - also ensured all attendees were kept entertained.

College principal Phillip Wilson said the event is run every second year and multiculturalism is this year's theme.

"We're aware that about 20 per cent of our population comes from other countries, so we deliberately set out to have participants do cooking, exhibitions or performances to celebrate their cultures," Mr Wilson said.

Asked about the turnout so far and the reception to the event, Mr Wilson said he estimates "thousands" of people.

"As you came in, the car park was already filled in the afternoon," he said.

"The highlights for me is definitely the multiculturalism.

"We have so many of the parents willing to support us in that. They were also able to get their families and friends, who normally don't have anything to do with this school, to celebrate and join in."

Mr Wilson said it was an event for young and old.

"The positive atmosphere of the fete is a testament to the organising committee's hard work," he said.

The event also had fashion and Chinese lantern parades, as well as demonstrations from emergency services.

The night was topped off with a massive fireworks display.
