School to celebrate centenary
MERRIVALE Primary School will celebrate its 100th birthday tomorrow (Saturday) and the community is invited.
All past, present and future students, staff and families are welcome to join with the school for a day filled with nostalgia, exploration and fun.
This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to reconnect with old friends, share cherished memories and take a tour of the school’s brand new spaces and buildings.
Members of the Warrnambool District Historical Vehicle Club will have vintage cars on display while food vans will keep visitors well nourished with everything from twistto potatoes through to Indian street food, fairy floss, snow cones and tasty spuds.
Children will be able to have their faces painted and enjoy some outdoor ‘old school’ games while others can browse displays of old school memorabilia and take in the 2004 time capsule on display.
The celebrations will run from 10am through to 1pm, with a school tour scheduled for about 10.15am.
Live music will be provided by Just Brass (past and present students) from 10am-10.30am, Toejam Acoustic (11am-12noon) and Jess McKinnon (12 noon-1pm).
