On Saturday, October 26, the primary school’s grounds will be transformed into one massive fair, filled with history and fun.
Principal Susanne Gill said the celebrations could not be missed.
“We’ll have school tours. We’ll have history on display, children’s work on display, and we’ll have a full on celebration with market stalls as well,” she said.
“We will be inviting local community groups to come and demonstrate their wares here as well.”
Over the next few months, Susanne said students would be working on their own projects in class, such as videos, documentaries, and posters, with the results being on display as part of the school’s celebrations.
“Students are going to be producing videos, documentaries and posters,” she said.
“It’s sort of free-range, they can do some videos or interviews with past students and teachers.
“They might even look at what might Tatura Primary School will look like in 150 years time, so really, the sky’s the limit.”
There will be plenty of entertainment too, with the school’s band and choir set to give showstopping performances, and a potential for some talented past pupils to come back to give the town a taste of their talents.
The school and students have been looking back into the past 150 years, curating a selection of memories to be displayed on the day.
From those memories are those from the previous two school sites, which they have been combing through the archives to find.
“We want to have displays of the school, from as far back as we can up to now,” Susanne said.
Tatura is getting ready for the big 150, and with all the celebrations that will be happening, you won’t want to miss Tatura Primary School’s birthday bash.
“We want to encourage the whole community to come along,” Susanne said.
“We just want it to be a really big celebration.”
