MANY former students, teachers and even principals attended Bayview College’s 140th celebration last Friday.

To start the celebration, the school held a service in the gymnasium with Saint Stephen's Anglican Church Reverend Wendy Morecroft, Portland Baptist Church Pastor Jonathan Rulton and All Saints Catholic Church Father Gregory Tait.

An afternoon tea was then held in one of the classrooms, with cakes, sandwiches and other nibbles provided by Lacee’s Kitchen.

Current school staff mingled with former staff who had come to visit. Former students and their parents also turned up to see how the school has changed today.

Another classroom was filled with memorabilia from the school’s long history, including production posters, year books, portraits of past principals and photographs of students on overseas trips.
