School prepares for centenary

With only a few weeks to go until the big event, Blockhouse Bay School is preparing to host a large group of ex-pupils, staff and parents at this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

On Friday 20th March, attendees will be given the opportunity to see the school in action with guided tours and the chance to catch up with others who are here to mark the occasion. Ex-Board and staff members are invited to an after dinner catch up in Te Manawa, the newly renovated original classroom and office.

On Saturday 21st March, an official celebration ceremony will be held at 11.00am for all who wish to attend and will include entertainment from children’s performance groups. The guided tours will continue, and this will be followed by lunch in the performing arts centre (Te Whau).

Then attendees will be given the opportunity to catch up with each other and swap stories about the highs (and hopefully not too many lows) of attending or working at Blockhouse Bay School.

There’s still time to register for this event.
