Leopold Primary School is celebrating its 150th birthday in a huge way.
Established in 1872 as a single bluestone building, the school has seen several reincarnations over the years and has been rebuilt several times.
Festivities on Sunday October 23 include memorabilia, artworks by every current student, food vans, games and kids activities, face painting, badge making, school tours, music and more.
Former students and staff can kick off proceedings early with a ‘back to Leopold’ social catch up at Leopold Sportsmans Club on Saturday night.
Sarah Bailey is one of the organisers of the event and said there will be plenty to see and do for all ages.
“We’re inviting the whole community really, but obviously past students and staff, we’d love to see as many as we can,” she said.
“We have a back-up plan if the weather is terrible. We’ve had 600 responses on our Facebook site, so potentially we could end up with thousands.
“It will be a fun family day out.”
The school’s Kind Kids Club will have a stall and a lucky jar where all proceeds will go towards creating a kindness garden.
Ms Bailey said past students will enjoy the memorabilia displays and photo albums.
The day kicks off at 10.30am at Leopold Primary School on Sunday October 23.
