Welcome to the Centenary News.
The school is celebrating a Century of Education at Hurlstone, 1907-2007 and we are urging all ex students and staff to be part of the celebartions throughout the year.
The Hurlstone Alumni
This centenary year has re-united many past students and staff of the school. The Hurlstone alumni has proven to be a great asset in helping many with this. This site is for ex-students and staff of Hurlstone to keep in touch with each other and with the school.
Centenary walkway - Order a paver to be laid on the walkway
We have now reopened orders for pavers to provide a continual development of the walkway for the years to come. Order forms are available at the school or can be downloaded here:
The Walkway has been constructed between the Administration block and Clarke House. It features an “aged” mouldboard plough as a centre sculpture. This area is to be further landscaped with selected plants and seating, making it very attractive and useful for formal occasions.
Centenary Memorabilia
A variety of memorabilia items are available from the school. The memorabila order form lists these and the associated costs. The centenary book can be ordered and posted by contacting the school or using the memorabilia order from.
The Centennial Book, written by Mr A Pollock of the History Faculty has been launched. Copies are available for sale at the school for $25.00 plus $5.00 postage. (Make your cheque to Hurlstone Agricultural High School, and address it to the attention of Administration Office)
The April 1 Centenary Thanksgiving Service
The centenary thanksgiving service and centenary walkway dedication set down for Sunday, the 1st of April, was a huge success. Thank you to all who attended this special event in Hurlstone’s History. There were over 2000 people enjoying the beautiful weather, the grounds and meeting up with their former class mates. Many had not been back for some fifty years.
