CENTENARY FETE

On November 1^st, the Wattle Grove community (past and present) came together to celebrate an important milestone in our school’s history, its centenary. The fete was an incredibly successful product of lots of hard work, commitment and dedication from many members of the school. No one can deny, however, that it was certainly worth it. Thank you to the parents who helped out in the lead up, or on the day, and thank you for the donations of plants and second-hand goods for the stalls. It was wonderful to see many of the children at the fete as well as catching up with past students and their families.

Chloe “My favourite activity at the fete was sliding down the bumpy castle because, most of the time you could speed down really fast. Within 10 seconds, you were finished!”

Cameron “I really enjoyed watching Mr Petch get dunked. It was really funny when the children missed the target and the kids went behind the machine to pull the lever so Mr Petch would fall in the water.”

Paare: “I think the fete was really fun and an amazing experience for the kids, their parents and the elderly.” 

Jack: “I really enjoyed walking around the learning blocks. It was very interesting to learn about the history of our school. I taught my Mum something that she didn’t previously know and that was that Amy Fitzgerald was the first teacher to teach at Wattle Grove. Walking through the blocks was like walking back in time. I got to see what it would have been like to be a kid back in 1915 and through to the recent times.”
