About 425 Arrowtown School children and staff were in good form yesterday.
To help celebrate the school's 150th anniversary - to be held next month at Labour Weekend - the number 150 was formed on the school's grounds and photographed. Sesquicentennial organiser Julie Hughes said the weekend would be a ''great chance for us to celebrate with the entire community''.
Registrations from past pupils were still being taken and a community gala day was planned for October 26, Mrs Hughes said.
The photo taken yesterday will be available for purchase during the anniversary weekend.
