WANDIN North Primary School celebrated their 100th anniversary last month, with past staff and students coming together to share memories.
A memorabilia display was located in the library while the students participated in historical activities such as lemonade making and abacus construction.
There were also outdoor activities such as hoola-hoops, quoits, elastics and marbles that everyone had a great time participating in.
Upon entry to the school visitors were given flags to place around the grounds to assist in the location of the time capsules to assist the school in re-locating them.
While the school comes closer to finding the capsules, they were disappointed that the missing school bell has not been returned to date.
Staff and students also went to great trouble to dress up in period clothing for the day and really get in the spirit of the school’s centenary.
A formal ceremony included speeches from the school’s Principal Dee Deklijn, Casey MP Tony Smith, special guests, and students before singing ‘Happy Birthday’, cutting a cake and releasing 100 balloons in school colours.
Wandin North Primary School extends a special thankyou to the students, parents, staff and visitors who made the centenary such a special day.
