John Warby Public School 50th Birthday Celebrations
John Warby Public School – Celebrating 50 Years
For 50 years, John Warby Public School has been so much more than classrooms, playgrounds and school gates. It has been a place of learning, belonging, friendship and community. Since opening in 1976, thousands of students, families and staff have been part of our story, each leaving their own mark and helping to shape the school we proudly call Warby today.
In 2026, we celebrate 50 years of proud public education at John Warby Public School, and we would love you to be part of this very special milestone. We warmly invite our current and former students, staff, families, community members and friends of Warby to come back, reconnect and celebrate with us. Walk through the gates again, catch up with familiar faces, revisit treasured memories and see how John Warby Public School has grown and changed across five wonderful decades.
Whether your Warby memories were made recently or many years ago, you will always be part of our story.
Join us as we honour our past, celebrate our present and look forward with pride to the next chapter of John Warby Public School.
50 Years of Warby. 50 Years of Memories. One Proud Community.

As part of our John Warby Public School 50th Birthday celebrations, we are excited to continue a tradition that began during our 40th Anniversary by creating a commemorative garden featuring engraved pavers.
This is a wonderful opportunity to leave a lasting legacy and celebrate your connection to John Warby Public School. Whether you have been part of our journey for many years or have more recently joined our school community, your personalised engraved paver will become a permanent part of our school's history for future generations to enjoy.
The commemorative pavers will be proudly featured within the upgraded Library lawn and garden precinct, joining our new trio of flagpoles, creating a beautiful and meaningful space that reflects both our history and our future.
Engraved commemorative pavers are available for $38 each. We are delighted to extend this initiative to our broader John Warby Public School community, providing past and present students, families, staff and community members with the opportunity to celebrate your connection to our school and become part of this lasting legacy.
We hope you will consider being part of this special milestone and helping us create a permanent tribute to the people and community who have shaped John Warby Public School over the past 50 years.
