PAST students, parents and staff from Dryandra Primary School in Mirrabooka will reminisce about old times as part of the school’s 30th anniversary.

The school will hold a special assembly on March 30, which will be attended by Mirrabooka MLA Janine Freeman and Stirling councillors David Boothman and Keith Sargent, followed by a cake cutting.

Classrooms will be open for former students, parents and staff to revisit with former friends and colleagues. Students have created a time capsule featuring a letter written in 1999 by past principal Ken Armstrong, posters, work samples, videos, class photos and special books.

Mr Biemmi said a committee with staff, P and C members and the wider community was set up last year to organise the event.
