DESIGN-A-BRICK FOR THE 60TH ANNIVERSAY

In 2023, Mullum Primary School will be 60 years old. We are using the Festival to launch our 60th Anniversary. We are inviting past families to attend the Festival, tour the new school and design a clay paver that will be laid in 2023, as part of a courtyard where our community can gather. If you know of any past Mullum Primary School families, please invite them to attend on the day and create their own paver. Current families are also invited to participate at the Festival, however, this fundraiser will be sent to families in the new school year.
