Dale Birch, Mayor of Sandhurst
It has been a great honour to take part on this very special day. To receive a handwritten invitation was especially nice. I hope the Camellia I planted in the grounds lasts another 150years. Keep learning

Wow! What a fantastic exhibition- everyone has worked so hard.

The sense of pride in St Michael’s shone through in today’s celebration. There is something uniquely special about the place and the people who fill it with such joy. I have the fondest memories of my time here which have flooded back seeing the incredible museum and chatting to dear friends. Our tour guide Josie was a credit to the school . Thanks so much to all for the invite-it’s been such a special afternoon and a privilege to be here

I attended St Michael’s between 1962 and 1968. My two sisters Karon and Susan also attended the school as did my grandfather and great grandfather. Mr Maskell was the headteacher and I was taught by Mrs Cox, Mrs Randall, Mrs Morton, Miss Smith and my favourite teacher was Woodwood in the infants. I remember the very cold winter of 1963and having to break the ice off our milk to drink it.

Jean Edwards
What a super afternoon, so lovely to meet so many faces from the past. really enjoyed the exhibition, what a lot of work must have gone into producing it. Well done!

Trudy Cleary
I am so impressed with all the wonderful display work that the children have done. They obviously really enjoyed doing it and finding out about life in their decade. My host Adam Bouaziz, was charming and knew a great deal about each decade.
