School plans 50th anniversary

Umina Beach Public School is planning its 50th anniversary celebrations for September 22 and 23.

The school is looking for people who have attended the school as students, teachers or parents in the last 50 years, according to principal Mr John Blair.

"The celebrations include a whole school musical to entertain, a display of memorabilia, a special assembly for visitors to catch up with acquaintances, morning tea and guided tours of the old and new buildings."

Mr Blair said that the building program was moving ahead at a remarkable rate and that it was already four weeks ahead of schedule.

"This eight-classroom, two-storey block should be ready for occupation prior to the end of the school year," Mr Blair said.
