Glenorchy School senior class teacher Helen Reed last week took 21 year 5 to 8 pupils to the Glenorchy Museum to research the past of the township and its families.

The visit is part of the group's preparation for a dinner in November.

Years 7 and 8 will cook a three-course dinner, while year 5 and 6 pupils will decorate the hall, send out invitations and serve the meal.

The dinner will be held in the Queenstown Memorial Hall because of the school's growing enrolment.

There were 16 pupils at the Glenorchy School in 2006. There are now 36 pupils, including three who enrolled this term.
