100th Anniversary Celebration

Celebrating 100 Years of Soaring to Success at Dr. S.J. Phillips

Welcome to a special place in our school's history - our Centenary Celebration page! This year marks a monumental milestone as we celebrate 100 years of learning, growth, and community. From our humble beginnings in 1924 to becoming a beloved cornerstone of education, we are proud of the legacy that has shaped generations of students, families, and staff.

Throughout this remarkable journey, our school has witnessed countless moments of achievement, change, and progress, all while staying true to its mission: to provide all our students with a motivating and engaging learning environment where they can develop and achieve their maximum potential. As we reflect on the past and look toward the future, we invite you to join us in celebrating the memories, traditions, and people that have made our school a place of pride for the last century.

This anniversary is not just a celebration of time - it's a celebration of the community that has supported us, the educators and staff who have dedicated themselves to our students, and the families who have helped shape our school into what it is today.

Take a stroll through our history, explore the events we have planned for this special year, and share in the joy of 100 years of learning and memories. Here's to the next 100 years of ‘soaring to success’!

Thank you for being part of our story!
