Our 100-Year anniversary
Celebrating 100 Years Together
In term 2, we celebrated our 100-year birthday assembly to commemorate the school opening on 24 June 1926. We celebrated with an 100th birthday cake, followed by some amazing vignettes of old scholars sharing their stories.
Term 2 – History Walk: Centenary School Tours
Tours are led by leadership and the Year 6 Student Leaders. These guided tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of our school and learn about changes over the past century. Come and discover memorable milestones and stories that shaped Allenby Gardens Primary School into the vibrant community it continues to be today.
We invite all members of the community – current and past students, families, and staff – are warmly invited to register their interest in attending a tour.
Term 3 – Alumni Guest Speakers
Alumni Speaker Invitation: We are also looking to connect with former students (scholars) and staff who would like to share their memories and experiences. This is a wonderful opportunity to inspire current students and celebrate the legacy of Allenby Gardens Primary School by sharing your unique stories.
To express your interest in being an Alumni Speaker, please register your interest via the QR code.
