Despite the rain, the Centenary Family Fun Day at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School remained a joyful celebration last Sunday.
Families, teachers and students gathered together to celebrate the significant milestone, reflecting on how the school has grown and evolved over the years.
The event was a bittersweet reminder of the school’s rich history whilst also highlighting its ability to adapt and support the generations to come.
The oldest former students and the youngest current student joined together to cut the cake, with the elders sharing their memories of the school, noting the changes such as its appearance and uniforms.
From the memorabilia display and open classrooms, to the lively activities like jumping castles, student performances and the centenary cake cutting, the day was a vibrant mix of past and present. The roll call, scavenger hunt and time capsule entries were also a hit, adding an element of excitement for all ages.
Not only was the day about celebrating the past but also looking forward to the future of St Mary’s, ensuring that the legacy of the school continues for years to come.
