Burdekin Catholic High School (BCHS) kicked off its 50th anniversary celebrations with a series of heartwarming events that brought together the school community, past and present, to honour half a century of education and community spirit.
The festivities began with an unforgettable Opening Night that set the tone for the weekend. The school campus was filled with pride, a strong sense of family, and an overwhelming spirit of community. The evening was a resounding success, marking the beginning of the three-day celebration in a way that words can hardly capture.
The excitement continued on Saturday night with the 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner. The event saw many past and present staff members and students gather for a beautiful evening of reminiscing and celebration. The night was a testament to the enduring legacy of BCHS, as attendees shared memories and expressed gratitude for the school's impact over the past 50 years.
On Wednesday, the celebrations shifted focus to the current students with a special 50th Anniversary Assembly. The students came together to honour the school's rich history, welcoming back former students and significant community members. A highlight of the assembly was the preparation of a time capsule, set to be opened at the school's 75th anniversary. The event also included a special blessing from Fr Truong, who blessed anniversary pins that were distributed to all staff and students.
The assembly concluded with the cutting of the anniversary cake, symbolically carried out by a student from the Class of 1974 and a current student from the Class of 2024. The moment was a beautiful representation of the school's past and present coming together in celebration. The event ended on a sweet note, with students sharing cake to mark the occasion.
As BCHS continues its celebrations, the sense of pride and community spirit remains palpable, a true reflection of the school's 50-year legacy.
