Teacher vs Student: HYDRO BLASTER Showdown!

Because what’s a fair without a chance to soak your teacher?

We didn’t forget! Every great fair needs an epic students vs teachers challenge — and this year, the Coomera Rivers Community Fair is bringing you the ultimate battle. Introducing... the HYDRO BLASTER!

Here’s how it works:

Four brave staff members take a seat beneath balloons slowly filling with water...
Four eager students race to burst the balloon above their teacher’s head first
The result? A whole lot of laughs and some very soaked teachers

Check out the Hydro Blaster schedule on the flyer below to see when your favourite teacher or staff member is stepping up... or should we say, getting drenched.
