100 days at school

Foundation students at a local school has celebrated their first 100 days of school, dressing up as 100-year-olds to celebrate the milestone.

Principal at St Patrick’s PS at Gordon, Paul McDowell, said it was important having families involved with the school again after a long period of remote learning, and praised parents for organising the fantastic costumes.

“This is a huge reward, not only for the students and their hard work, but also the parents and their hard work,” Mr McDowell said.

The Foundation teacher also dressed up, with dress-up items including grey wigs, glasses, walking sticks, flat caps, and pretend pearl necklaces.

A range of activities were also held, based on the number 100.

M McDowell said “beginning school is a massive milestone in these children’s lives.”
