Burnside Primary School celebrated their year prep’s reaching a milestone of 100 days of schooling on Tuesday, August 1.
Children were invited to dress up as 100-year-olds and parents were invited to the school for a morning of activities celebrating the number 100 and exploring its significance.
Burnside principal Davide Lombardi said the creation of t-shirts showcasing the number 100 in creative ways and reflecting the students’ knowledge of this significant number stole the spotlight during the festivities.
“This exciting celebration signifies 100 days of learning, growth, and friendship for our young learners,” he said.
“It’s a time to reflect on all the progress they’ve made, the new skills they’ve acquired, and the wonderful memories they’ve created with their peers, teachers and parents.
“By commemorating this day, we encourage our students to embrace the joy of learning and to continue their educational journey with enthusiasm and curiosity.”
Burnside Primary School was established in 2019 and currently accommodates 355 students.
Mr Lombardi said it’s important for the new school to celebrate the little achievements that add up to big accomplishments as they look forward to many more days of discovery and fun in the class.
“Community events are at the core of Burnside Primary School’s ethos, strengthening the bond between the school and its surrounding community,” he said.
“Community events provide valuable opportunities to celebrate student achievements and talents. Showcasing projects, performances, and accomplishments boosts students’ confidence and motivation, inspiring them to excel further in their academic and creative pursuits.
“The recent community event not only showcased the school’s achievements but also reaffirmed its dedication to fostering a vibrant and united school community.”
