125 Year Celebration

125 year commerative bricks 

With Burke Ward’s 125 year celebration this year we have decided to create a special garden area for the event.

In this garden area we would like use pavers and thought we’d give each Burkie family, past and present, an opportunity to have their child’s / family name or drawing highlighted in this garden for years to come.

In order to make this accessible to all Burkie families. past and present we have decided to sell the pavers at cost price plus GST. Pavers can be paid for via, cheque, money order, cash, online or over the phone.

This offer closes on the 8 May 2020. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept orders after this date.

We hope to get as many families and students as possible. If you would like to donate a paver to a family, please feel free to do so by paying for the paver and indicating that this is a donation paver and we will allocate it to a Burkie family.
