FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH OUR CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS

The organisation of a celebration such as this does not occur without a willing and extremely hard working committee, comprising current parents, staff, past parents and pupils. The sincere thanks of all Bilambil students, teachers and parents must go to:

Mrs Margaret Doust
Mrs Julie Stuart
Mrs Maisie Burger
Mrs Lyn Lee
Mrs Dorothy Elliott
Mrs Robyn Lawrence
Mrs Marion Walsham
Mrs Ina Tranter
Mrs Tracy Chapman
Mrs Wilma O’Keeffe
Mrs Carolyn Pouroula
Mrs Colleen Duncalfe
Mrs Kathy Garland
Mrs Vicki Marshall

For 12 months now this dedicated group of people have spent many hours both in meetings and at home contacting countless individuals and organisation to ensure the success of this Centenary.

A very special thank you to Mr Col Edwards for his wonderful signs and his very special talent.

To the staff of Bilambil School and the many parent helpers who have silently added their support to this occasion, thank you for your involvement.

FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH OUR CENTENARY BOOK
which has been used as the basis for many of these pages

Those friends of Bilambil School who have so generously lent photographs and other memorabilia and have told or written of their school days, school friends and present whereabouts, have assisted enormously and encouraged those of us directly involved in the organisation. You will recognise your contributions as you read and view. Thank you very much. We regret it was not possible to include any more.

Last, but not least, thank you to everyone and anyone who has in some way supported, the smooth running of the Centenary celebrations, for without your help nothing is possible. If I have overlooked someone I sincerely apologise, but assure you that every little bit of support has been most gratefully accepted.
