CRANBOURNE Secondary College will be celebrating its 40th anniversary next month but assistant principal George Massouris is hoping someone can help find the time capsule before then.
The time capsule was buried somewhere on the school grounds in 1979 but was not given a marker and all records of its location have been lost over time.
“We want to locate it and put a marker there so we can dig it up when it’s time,” Mr Massouris said.
“At this point we are trying to locate it and it is a mystery where it is or what is buried inside it.”
The school is asking anyone who may have some information about the whereabouts of the time capsule to get in touch with the school before the 40-year anniversary.
As well as information about the capsule, the school is asking anyone with interesting mementos from the last 40 years to lend them out for the anniversary celebration.
“We are looking for anything people have relating to the history of Cranbourne Secondary College to be brought to the front office for photographing or we can look after it for the event,” Mr Massouris said.
“We want to bring back stuff for the show to bring back memories for people.”
The anniversary celebration will have these items on display in the gym as well as movies and photos from the past 40 years and current and past students performing songs from their eras.
A special school logo has also been designed by current Year 10 student Jade Joseph to celebrate the remarkable anniversary.
There will also be cake and speeches from the past and current school captains and a hunt for the time capsule if the school can find some information on where it might be.
The anniversary day will be open to all current and past staff and students to share stories and memories of their time at Cranbourne Secondary College.
The event will begin at 3pm and run until about 8pm on Saturday 19 November, at the school on Stawell Street.
