Welcome to the Centenary News.
The school is celebrating a Century of Education at Hurlstone, 1907-2007 and we are asking ex students and staff to forward their current details for our database to Mrs Anne McLeod on (02) 9829 9246 or annemcleod29@yahoo.com.au.
Thank you to all who have sponsored a paver for the Centenary Walkway. Over 1,200 pavers were purchased. (Orders have now closed)
The Walkway is to be laid between the Administration block and Clarke House. It will feature an “aged” mouldboard plough as a centre sculpture. This area is to be landscaped with selected plants and seating, making it very attractive and useful for formal occasions.
A Thanksgiving Service, followed by the Dedication of the Centenary Walkway will be held on Sunday 1st April 2007, please be seated by 1.15pm for a 1.30pm start. This special event is open to all current and ex-students, staff, family and friends, and will be held in the area outside Clarke House (formerly The Principal's Residence) If the weather is unfavourable, the service will be held in the school hall. Please RSVP by 1st March to Anne McLeod at the school address, fax - 02 9829 2026 or email annemcleod29@yahoo.com.au All Paver sponsors should have received an invitation by now. If you have changed your address since ordering a paver, please forward your new details to Anne. (We have had a number of invitations returned)
The Centennial Book, written by Mr A Pollock of the History Faculty will also be launched on this day. Copies will be available for sale. Those unable to attend any of the Centenial functions will have the oportunity to order a book. (Costing to be advised)
