Williamstown Primary School 150th celebration parents committee chair Nicole Paramanis said the six parents on the working team have embraced the legacy of the school in its glory.
“We all discussed our vision of how we wanted to celebrate this special occasion so we looked back on the 140th celebration and other events in the archives to see what was done,” she said.
“There were some classic things like having the oldest and youngest Willy kid together and getting them together for a photo.
“Post COVID, the school had three things it wanted to achieve and that was to educate, celebrate, and relink with the community.”
Nicole said the team was faced with a real amount of enthusiasm within the school community so planning events was easy.
“We had a kids birthday party for the kids of the school, where every child left with a party bag and other merch.
“We had a gala celebration for the grownups in the community past and present which was held on August 18.”
The committee also worked on side projects including the archive project, the book project, the documentary as well as graphic designing for merchandise and more.
“It has been outstanding how everybody’s wanted to get involved, it has been really special.”
