Glamorgan Vale State School will be celebrating its 140th anniversary on Saturday, September 5.
Glamorgan Vale is situated about 10km north-west of Ipswich in the Marburg Valley near Fernvale.
Everyone is welcome to come to the celebrations, especially all former students of the Glamorgan Vale and Lark Hill schools and anyone who has a family connection or interest in the area, including South Burnett residents.
The celebrations will feature a street parade that will include a marching band, horse-drawn vehicles, vintage cars and a bullock team.
There will also be a Maypole dance performed by the school’s students.
The cutting of the anniversary cake will be followed by the official opening which will be carried out by Shirley Davis, the daughter of the longest-serving school principal Mr Douglas Gillespie.
A 140th anniversary book and souvenirs will be on sale, and food stalls and a bar will be operating.
