HAMPTON Park Secondary College is celebrating 30 years of education on Wednesday 16 November with an exhibition of memories from the school.
Past and present staff, students and school community members are invited to help dig up the time capsule that has been buried since 1986.
There will also be school tours and displays from years gone by to connect the current Hampton Park Secondary with that of bygone eras.
Assistant principal Anne Ure said there had been many changes to the school over the years and the college community are excited to explore them.
“There have been massive changes in the school over the years,” she said.
“From the buildings and student population to things like state-of-the-art IT facilities, drone clubs, and 3D printing.”
Ms Ure said there had been a strong response from people who had received invitations for the anniversary.
“Past students and staff and parents and school councillors have responded, about 130-150 people so far,” she said.
“It’s a significant celebration for the college and given that Hampton Park will be celebrating 100 years as a community, a perfect lead in to that.”
Those who attend the 30-year anniversary for the school will be able to witness the burying of a new time capsule to be opened in 2036.
The anniversary celebrations will run from 5pm to 7pm Wednesday 16 November at the secondary college.
