WHEN the hit song The carnival is over by The Seekers was blasting out of AM radios across Australia the carnival was just beginning at West Busselton Primary School.
This year the school celebrates 50 years since it first welcomed students through the front doors back in 1965.
To mark their golden anniversary the school will take a step back in time with displays of local and world history from the last five decades
There will be an assembly at the school from 2pm on Friday October 23 which will be followed by a social function for past staff at 5pm.
On Saturday October 24 an open day will be held at the school from 10am to 1pm with food stalls and a time capsule display from the year 2000.
The faculty at West Busselton Primary School would like to invite all past students and parents to attend the events and help them celebrate their 50th anniversary.
Brothers Zack and Jonte Hatton are third generation students at West Busselton said their grandfather was one of the first children to attend the school.
“Our grandfather is 56 years old and our dad came to the school too,” they said.
“Our grandfather told us when he was a student at West Busselton he didn’t wear a uniform or hat and would often go to school in bare feet.”
