Events to celebrate 100 years on site

Woy Woy Public School will hold events on Friday, November 23, and Saturday, November 24, to commemorate 100 years on it current site on the corner of Blackwall and Park Rds.

In its early days, the school was conducted out of a tent for the railway workers' children near the Woy Woy railway tunnel and moved a number of times before it settled in its current site.

On the Friday, a day of activities will be available for the students to experience how schools have changed.

As well as an assembly, students will dress in periodic costumes and participate in activities including sports and games expressive of earlier times.

There may even be some activities and challenges that the adults can participate in.

On the Saturday, Woy Woy Public School will be open to the public including past students and families, where the community can see how the school has changed as well as view a collection of memorabilia.

The open morning will be followed by a luncheon at Pelicans Restaurant.

The school is calling on the community to participate in the preparations with any stories, photos or other memorabilia that could be included in the history of the school.

Families and individuals also have the opportunity to purchase Signature Pavers for the school's Centenary Garden.

These and Centenary history books can be ordered through the school office or on the school website.

For further information, to be part of the event or to submit historical information, contact Woy Woy Public School on 4341 3555.
