SIMPSON Primary School marked a special milestone recently – 50 years of educating the local community.
School principal Melissa Berry said May 31 marked 50 years since the official opening of the school by the then education minister Lindsay Thompson.
“On Tuesday (May 31), the current students and staff were joined by current members of the school council, past principal Carol Fulford, Brian Gleeson who was president of the school council 50 years ago, Sue Stevens and Debbie Smith,” she said.
“Sue Stevens, who was a student when the school opened, made cupcakes for each of the students and decorated the birthday cake with the school logo, a dragon.”
Mrs Berry said the school planned to host a ‘50 years of Simpson Primary School’ celebration later in the year.
“We’re calling for people to be involved in the organising committee,” she said.
“If you are a past student, parent or staff member and would like to be involved in helping with the celebrations please contact Simpson Primary School on 5594 3298 or 0458 943 298 or Sue Stevens on 0427 352 588.”
