Marking the milestone on Thursday, August 6, Kyabram P-12 College Preps dressed up as 100-year-olds, complete with walking sticks, glasses and facial hair, to spend time with some of the town’s most experienced residents at Warramunda Village.

The visit bridged generations, allowing the Preps to share stories, show off their creative costumes, and celebrate what it means to reach the remarkable milestone of 100 years alongside the town’s centenarians.

St Augustine's College Preps also marked their first 100 days of school on Tuesday, August 4 with activities and colourful outfits, walking sticks and wigs.

The Free Press captured the students’ celebrations.
