THE Old Witta School marks 100 years since the opening of its current building in 1925. Once a hub for local education, the building now serves as a vibrant community centre, continuing its legacy of bringing people together.
To honour the centenary, a community celebration will be held on Sunday June 8 2025 from 11am to 3pm at the Old Witta School grounds. The event will feature an historical exhibition of photographs, artefacts and stories, a formal ceremony with speeches from past and present educators, and live entertainment by local musicians.
Since its decommissioning as a school in 1991, the building has remained a central part of Witta life. “This building has been the heart of our community for 100 years,” said Grant Fincher, President of the Old Witta School Management Committee.
The day offers a chance to reconnect, reflect, and celebrate the region’s rich educational and community heritage. The Old Witta School is located at 316 Witta Road, Witta.
