Celebrating 100 days of school

Fleetwood Primary School’s Foundation pupils marked a special milestone by looking forward to their future last week.

On Thursday 27 July, the Foundation pupils celebrated their 100th day of school.

Foundation teacher Julianne Macdonald said the pupils dressed up as centenarians, while the teachers dressed up in school uniform.

“Since their very first day, the students have been counting the days to 100, eagerly awaiting this special milestone,” she said.

“Over the course of the day, the children participated in some fun activities, all centred around the number 100.”

Ms Macdonald said the entire school community also helped to collect more than 150 cans of food.

“To involve the whole school in their celebration, all students from Foundation to Grade Six were asked to bring along a can of food,” she said.

“The Foundation students counted nearly double that amount, and these were then donated to the Cranbourne Food Truck to assist those in need.

“At the end of a fun day, the 100-year-old students went home for a rest and a nice cup of tea!”
