HALL SCHOOL CENTENARY 2011 - VIDEO


Turned up in my inbox this morning... The Hall community have announced celebrations of the 1911 Hall Primary School's centenary to be celebrated over the weekend of April 16-17th 2011. They are calling for past students, teachers and parents of the Hall Primary School and anybody having had involvement with the school to help celebrate. Full details are available from the Hall and District website.

And this...

NewsOnABC YouTube reported the upcoming celebrations and put together this video from footage they had taken over the years.

"Hall Primary School celebrates its centenary - despite being closed down in 2006."
