The October 16 fair, organised by the school's P&C, is the first in three years and is slated to be a big affair.
"The fair is a community-building event aimed at bringing Wirreanda school families and the local community together for a fun social event, as well as a fundraiser with any profit aimed at updating the school library," P&C president Leisl Kennedy said.
The P&C hopes to raise $20,000 to update the school's library, which Ms Kennedy said had not received a facelift since it opened in 1985.
Everything from rides, laser tag, craft, performances, demonstrations, art, competitions, stalls, food and a major raffle will be available at the fair.
The Medowie Fire Brigade, Port Stephens SES and Irrawang Drum Corp will hold demonstrations, and Wirreanda's choir and dance group will perform.
The fair will run between 1pm and 5pm.
Children and adults are encouraged to dress in theme - country.
There will be scarecrow competitions and sheep poo lotto.
Currency on the day will be "country cash" - money designed by students.
Country cash can be bought from the school office before the country fair, or at a designated cash booth on the day.
