Seatoun School Centenary CANCELLED

Thank you for your patience as we decided on our centenary plans. We have decided to cancel this event, with no postponement date.We have been planning now as a committee for 3 years. The centenary was postponed from September 2021 until March 2022. Under the current situation and with cases rising we cannot proceed with this event. We do not want to put anyone at risk and know that a lot of people who want to attend the event wouldn’t be able to.

We have made the tough decision not to postpone this event.   We know this will be sad for you all as it is for us the committee. We will be providing a full refund to you for any event bookings.  Memorabilia purchased will be sent out to you as soon as we can.

We are hoping that in 2023, when things have settled down, we will run an ‘open day’ one Saturday for past students where you will be able to gather.  This will be a very low-key event and is yet to be confirmed.

Despite the sad decision to cancel the event, we would like to acknowledge the hard work, support and stories that have been shared with us over this journey – there have been many gems gathered along the way.  So many treasured memories from the Seatoun School community, past and present, have been shared with us and we are confident that there will be many more happy memories to come.  These are recorded in our book, which is available to purchase.
We have had a number of enquiries regarding purchasing an item to commemorate Seatoun School  reaching 100 years.  We have re-opened orders for merchandise and with the closing date now March 11, 2022.  All items ordered will then be printed/made and available for collection or mail out as quickly as we can (subject to delivery times from manufacturers).

Centenary merchandise

Centenary book

So far, we have sold almost 120 of our Centenary books, which provide over 200 pages full of history, memories, and photos about Seatoun School over the past 100 years.

If you have already ordered a book, they are ready for collection from the School Office.

If you haven’t ordered yet, or you’re undecided, check out this great article by Nicholas Boyack which featured in the Dom Post and Stuff. Nicholas has come across many Centenary books in his role as a journalist and he said this is the most comprehensive and interesting one he has seen, so definitely worth having!
