Lithgow Public School proudly celebrated its 150th anniversary on Saturday 15th March, bringing together past and present students, staff, and community members for a memorable event. The day was filled with nostalgia, reflection, and appreciation for the school’s rich history and enduring legacy.
Attendees had the opportunity to reconnect with former classmates, explore historical photographs and memorabilia, and observe the school’s evolution while touring the classrooms and grounds. The event provided a meaningful space to reminisce and celebrate the institution’s long-standing contributions to education and the local community.
The celebration featured heartfelt speeches that honoured the school’s journey over the past century and a half, recognising the achievements and dedication of those who have shaped its success. The enthusiastic atmosphere underscored the deep connections and shared experiences that unite the Lithgow Public School community.
As part of the milestone celebration, commemorative pavers are available for purchase until April 11, 2025. These pavers, set to be installed by Term Three, will serve as a lasting tribute to this historic occasion. Orders can be placed via the provided link or by contacting the school directly.
The school extends its sincere gratitude to the School P&C for their invaluable contributions in organising and managing the refreshment stall. Special thanks to Kristy, Jade, Chantelle, Ashley, Sam, and their families for their dedication and hard work.
Additionally, the school acknowledges the generous support of local businesses, including Logan Signs, Creative Confections, Bouquets By Design, Bunnings Lithgow, Coles Lithgow, Pretty Party People, MJ Bakes, Energy Australia, and Lithgow City Council, whose contributions were instrumental in making the event a success.
The celebrations will continue throughout the year, and the school looks forward to sharing more moments of commemoration with the community.
