An informal gathering will be held over Labour Weekend to mark 160 years since formal education was introduced in the district.
The get-together is part of celebrations marking Warkworth’s 170 year anniversary and will also mark 65 years since foundation pupils attended the former Warkworth District High School and 60 years since Mahurangi College was named. Heritage Mahurangi chair Dave Parker says no registrations are required and no fees.
“We just want people to turn up at the Mahurangi College hall on Sunday, October 22, at 2pm, for a formal welcome and tour of college facilities, and get-together.
The Bridgehouse has been booked for an ‘after function’. Please spread the word,” Dave says.
He would also welcome enquiries from anyone prepared to volunteer their help on the day.
