CRANBOURNE Secondary College celebrated its 40th anniversary on Saturday 19 November with 390 people signing the guest book.
Current assistant principal George Massouris was the main organiser of the event and he said he was very pleased with how it played out.
“It went really well and was very well received,” he said.
“We bought back three past principals and had them in the same room.
“We were able to get past assistant principals as well, many students attended going back to ’76 from the very beginning of the school.”
The event has past and present students giving speeches and presenting displays of the school’s history.
“We had the class captain of ’76 talk to the crowd and give an amazing speech,” Mr Massouris said.
“He lived across the road when the school first started and could hear his dog barking from his classroom which was a great story to hear.”
Past and present students performed a concert and gave gifts to past principals for their work in creating a rich school history.
“It was a really great event and so many people came together to see old phots and video presentations,” Mr Massouris said.
“I think most people walked away thinking it was really worthwhile.”
