Dr GILLESPIE (Lyne) (13:51): Recently, I visited Beechwood Public School to present a number of awards and national flags ahead of the school's sesquicentennial, or 150 year, celebrations. I'd like to congratulate the staff, students and parents of Beechwood Public School, and the broader local community, on the 150th anniversary. It's a big, big milestone for an important local institution. This Friday a time capsule that was buried at Beechwood Public School in 1994 will be retrieved and replaced with a new time capsule. The new capsule will contain items like those created 25 years ago. Students and staff from 25 years ago will be there for the opening. On this Saturday, the parents and citizens association will host the heritage funfair. At 10 am it will all begin with live music, rides and jumping castles, market stalls, historic cars and the Hastings colonial cafe with good old-fashioned Devonshire teas. The Wauchope Historical Society will also be there dressed in period costume. And it won't just be them who are dressing up, each class will be dressed for a particular decade through the 150 years. There will, of course, be an amazing 150-year sesquicentenary cake. So I'd encourage anyone who's available on Saturday to turn up at the Beechwood Public School celebrations.
