The milestone was marked with activities and dress-ups on Monday, July 28 across the four prep classes.

Students — with the help of their parents and teachers — donned their best ‘100’ costumes.

Some opted to impersonate centenarians, with grey wigs, cardigans, walking sticks and wrinkles.

Others were inspired by the number, including 100 buttons, pompoms or even science experiments for their look.

To get into theme, students, back row, Isabelle Castle, Murphy Read and Tori Plant, and, front row, Arlette Neal and Darcy Brown, donned their Sunday best. Photo by Emily Donohoe

Costumes were taken very seriously, down to the last wrinkle. Back row, Lana Verhey, Amelia McCartney, Isla Oswald and Fletcher Tully, and, front row, Sadie Stevens, Harry Egan, Opie Burtchell and Issy Chappel. Photo by Emily Donohoe
