Bilgola Public School Celebrates 60th Birthday: The Anniversary Walk to recreate history

On 28 June, 1965, 2 teachers and 25 students walked up the hill from Avalon PS and into a new school, which today is the Heart of the Hill.
On Saturday 28 June, 2025 - 60 years to the day - around 200 Students, all the Teachers and Staff members, parents and families past, present and future, retraced their steps in an Anniversary Walk.
Four original students were present from the first intake; Ross Montague, John Gray, David Watson and Di Page.

Afterwards a complimentary Birthday Afternoon Tea at Bilgola Plateau Public School was held. The School Museum was open, which had been created through the work of the BPPS P and C, and stories from the past, and the school's Vision for the future, were shared.
In marking the occasion, Cindy Gardiner, Principal of Bilgola Plateau Public School said:
“On this day, 60 years ago, the Director of Education advised the students and Mrs Rita Reid, who was their Principal, they could come up the hill and start their school. Mrs Reid walked them up the hill, like you have all just down now, and started Bilgola Plateau Public School. So well done everyone, you have just recreated history. “
“Mrs. Rita Reid was the Principal for 1 year – as the numbers started to swell it went from an Infants School to a Primary School.”
Principal Gardiner, who loves data, said that the school has had 12 thousand days on the hill and has educated over 3,600 students during the last 60 years, and those former students present at the event had each made 1, 400 trips up the hill to school during their time there. The school has been through 500 excursions, teachers currently serving through 120 reporting sessions and at least 60 Education Weeks, Book Weeks and Easter Hat Parades.
“So our beautiful school on the hill has a lot of history and a lot of memories and I’m so glad that everyone could join us today for this very special occasion.”
BPPS Principal Cindy Gardiner recalled that when she first came to Bilgola Plateau Public school in 2013 she was knew the school had a great reputation which she has worked to increase. Principal Gardiner stated that was also when she met a wonderful group of teachers who love the school as much as she and the school community does and noted that the whole staff were there for the Anniversary Walk to support this event, a tribute to BPPS and its community.
BPPS Principal Cindy Gardiner thanked Alice Pilcher and Corinne Smith, Committee Members for the 60 Year BPPS Celebrations as the Anniversary Walk was their brainchild, Susan Peacock for her work in curating the museum displays and Elani Miles for her work in putting together a presentation that was running on a screen in the museum.
Some photos from the stroll up the hill and the Anniversary Walk celebrations run below, for the historic record.
There is more to come, including a BIG FETE in September for the whole community.
Right now the P & C is fundraising, telling us:
Bilgola gave us more than just school photos with questionable haircuts.
It gave us a view worth daydreaming over, lifelong mates, and the best start to a lifetime of learning. Now it’s our turn to give something back.
The Bilgola P&C is raising funds to make sure students get the facilities to match the greatness inside the classroom.

Because great schools - like great memories - are worth investing in.
No 60 Year BPPS Celebration would be complete without a delve into the history of the Bilgola Plateau Public Schools' beginnings.
This has been researched and written by Susan Peacock, who has an Archivist and working in Museums background and has been reading those 60 years of records, many of them still on paper - thank you Susan.

The Early History of Bilgola Plateau Public School
by Susan Peacock
SCHOOL ORIGINS
The sleepy holiday villages of the northern beaches began to be more permanently populated during the 1950’s, putting pressure on schools in Avalon and Newport. In September 1959 the Director of Primary Education advised the Valuer General to acquire land for the future Newport Heights Primary School. This purchase was formally completed in September 1960, and an area of “6 acres 3 roods 13 ¾ perches within the Parish of Narrabeen” was resumed for the proposed school.

GETTING STARTED
By 1963 District Inspector, C. S. Clayton, began exploring options to take the growing enrolment pressure from Avalon Public School. In October of that year he wrote to the Director of Primary Education recommending the establishment of an Infants school for the beginning of 1965 on the site purchased in 1960.
Significantly he wrote that “the Postmaster-General’s Department estimated that the area the school would serve would have space for 1000 homes”. He also advised that although the department refers to the site as Newport Heights Public School the area is more commonly referred to by locals as Avalon Plateau or Bilgola Plateau, and as the land was purchased from Bilgola Plateau Pty Ltd that name seemed appropriate. In January 1964 the Department of Public Works was asked to prepare plans and specifications for “4 classrooms in brick veneer, offices, staffroom, toilet and ablution block “.
Bilgola Heights Plateau School officially announced:
Sydney, 10th January, 1964.
NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL
IT is hereby notified for general information in accordance with the provisions of the 34th section of the Public Instruction Act of 1880, as amended, that it has been decided to establish a school on the Bilgola-Avalon Plateau to be known as BILGOLA HEIGHTS PUBLIC SCHOOL.

THE INTAKE BOUNDARIES DEFINED
At a conference of Principals held in February 1965 the following boundaries were recommended for Bilgola Plateau Public School.
“Starting at the eastern extremity of the recreation area opening off Kanimbla Crescent, take a line northerly to the junction of Palmgrove and Plateau Roads, thence along the eastern side of Plateau Road, around The Pinnacle, thence in a line to the intersection of Stromboli Place and Bilwarra Road, thence along the western side of Lower Plateau Road, the western side of Argyle Road, the southern side of Raymond Road, the eastern side of York Terrace to its intersection with Grand View Drive, thence easterly to the starting point.”
This boundary was to apply to all new enrolments in 1965 up to the end and including Grade 3, all pupils who were enrolled in 1964 in the grades Kindergarten, first and second grade who were currently at Avalon Public School. Many families from this intake area with children at Avalon Public School were concerned about the transfer of their children to the new school on the hill. The Minister for Education, Ern Wetheral, wrote “local children transferring to Bilgola Plateau are not likely indefinitely to experience any disadvantages”.
MOVING DAY
At the commencement of the new school year in 1965 construction of the school was not yet complete. To ensure a smooth transition when the site was ready to be occupied, the 49 Infants students enrolled in Bilgola Plateau Public School and staff commenced their year in an outbuilding on the grounds of Avalon Public School (present day Avalon OOSH). Their morning recess and lunch times were staggered with those of Avalon Public School to create better cohesion among its small population.
At last, the Director of Primary Education, C.S. Clayton, advised that the premises could be occupied on Monday 28th June 1965. On that day the Principal, Mrs Rita Reid, assembled the only other member of staff Mrs Janette Drabwell, and students at their temporary accommodation in Avalon Public School and together they walked up Plateau Road and onto their new campus.
At that time it was not uncommon for class sizes to be 40 or 45 children, so two teachers and 49 children was considered “teacher’s Heaven”. There was no telephone on site. The Education Department suggested that Mrs Reid and Mrs Drabwell use the public telephone on the corner near the shops if a child were unwell, leaving the other teacher to teach their class while they ran down the road.

SCHOOL WARMING
On Saturday 10th July, 1965 school families were invited to bring a plate and the children were able to proudly show their parents through the new school. The day ended with a party for the children and afternoon tea for parents and other family members.
In that first year the school premises consisted of two buildings. These were today’s Administration block with its four classrooms, and the toilet and ablution block on the opposite side of the unpaved quadrangle. An additional classroom block with four more classrooms was built on the eastern side of the quadrangle in 1966. The library and present-day infants buildings were constructed ten years later in 1976. The original ‘tuckshop’ was an open breeze-block space which stood where the library now stands.

SCHOOL SONG
There have been three school songs since the school opened in 1965. Each refers to the beautiful environment which surrounds us, and to the importance BPPS has always placed on social responsibility, community values and caring for others.
1969
Set high on a plateau is our lovely school
Where we learn to live by the great Golden Rule
We see sparkling waters of inlet and sea
While deep in the blue above birds fly so free.
Bilgola, Bilgola, the school of our childhood
Oh we are so proud of your beautiful name,
And so dear Bilgola, we’ll work for your glory,
