Centenary celebrations at Merrivale
STUDENTS, staff and families both past and present enjoyed the opportunity to return to Merrivale Primary School last weekend to celebrate its centenary.
According to staff, hundreds of visitors enjoyed Saturday’s ‘centenary celebrations’ with many enjoying the opportunity to rekindle old friendships and browse through old memorabilia on display.
“We had lots of past students and current students and their families pay a visit – as well as plenty of interest in future enrolments after seeing what Merrivale has to offer,” staff member Sarah Barbetti said.
“There were many past students who reconnected with each other, and shared stories while looking through old photos.
“The positive feedback we received about the event was heart-warming and greatly appreciated.”
The gold coin donations made on the day will go towards the kitchen garden project the school is hoping to launch next year.
“It truly was a great day to celebrate a great school and it was an honour to showcase our school to the community,” Ms Barbetti said.
