BALARANG PUBLIC SCHOOL 50TH ANNIVERSARY
What an amazing week we had last week. The celebrations began on Tuesday when the canteen organised a special party meal deal for the children. Balloons were hung up, cupcakes and jelly was on sale and a big chocolate birthday cake (complete with candles) was shared with the children.
On Friday 14 September 2018 we all turned the clock back to 1968, and it was lovely to see so many children and teachers getting into the spirit of the day. Some of the costumes were amazing! The children enjoyed rotating though a number of activities, learning more about life in the 1960s including the music, art and even the cars at that time. The afternoon finished with our formal assembly and it was lovely to see so many visitors enjoying the display in the Library, reminiscing about times when they were at school. Even the school cow received a makeover for the day, and Anna Versary now looks very happy in the rejuvenated garden in front of the Library.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make it such a special day for so many people, including the organising committee, our front office staff, our School Learning and Support Officers and to the P&C for organising the afternoon tea. Thank you also to the many parents and grandparents who kindly brought in baked treats to serve at the afternoon tea.
