Today we marked the 100 year anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the main building at Te Puna Wai o Waipapa - Hagley College.

You can see this foundation stone on the end of the main block by the tunnel. We enjoyed a celebratory morning tea with invited guests, including current students from each year level, former students from the Hagley-West Association, Board members, support staff and teaching staff.

The Hagley-West Association (formerly known as the Westonians) have careful and detailed records of the school's long history. We are 165 years old this year. Here's a brief version:
