She said there were musical performances by students including the school’s choir, recorder and drum groups as well as a display of historic documents.
“We also had two former students with us, one of whom now works in the Department of Education and another who had a science award given to him while he was a student here, and he now runs an entire lab,” she said.
“To see them here, and for them to have been so inspired by their time here, was absolutely wonderful.
“They also remembered the members of staff who taught them which was lovely.
“There are those small things, those moments that can make a real difference to the trajectory of a student’s life.
“It is always amazing when a teacher has a passion for something, whether it is music, mathematics or science and that leads a student to find something they love too.
“That’s why we do what we do.”
Mrs Morgani said there would be other 150th celebrations later in the year, including a dinner with former students and teachers at the Fairfield RSL on October 25, as well as an Open Day for the whole community on October 26.
